How to Send a Personal Letter to Someone at Natrona County Detention Center

Keep your letter within 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall and no more than five pages. Write only on the fronts of the pages, because the scanning system scans fronts only. Mail with writing on the backs will be returned to the sender, and letters over five pages will not be scanned or delivered.

Your letter must not contain coded or gang-related correspondence, sexually explicit material, or material that threatens facility security, order or discipline. It also cannot include correspondence for another inmate whose name is not on the envelope. Before you seal the letter, check that it has none of the prohibited additions below.

• ✓ No stickers, inkpad stamps, whiteout, staples or tape in or on the letter.
• ✓ No felt markers, gel pens or glitter pens used on the letter or envelope.
• ✓ No lipstick, perfume, cologne or bodily fluids.
• ✓ No postage stamps, blank paper, blank envelopes, self-addressed stamped envelopes, blank greeting cards or blank postcards.
• ✓ No phone cards.
• ✓ No personal, payroll or two-party checks.

Mail received for an inmate who has been issued a No Contact Order will be returned to the sender with an explanation.

The Longview, Texas address is where personal letters are processed. It is not where the inmate is held. The detention center's physical address is 1100 Bruce Ln., Casper, WY 82601, but use the Longview mailing address below for an ordinary personal letter.

1. Put the inmate’s full committed name and your return address on the front of the envelope. Include the inmate’s name and your return address on the letter as well.
2. Address the envelope to:
3. Inmate’s full name

As of March 14, 2024, the county mail policy says Natrona County Detention Center uses InTouch Mail Scanning powered by NCIC. Accepted personal mail is scanned at a central processing location and delivered electronically through NCIC. The inmate views it on a kiosk or tablet within the facility.

Processed paper originals are destroyed after the inmate receives the mail electronically and are not released back to you. Incoming and outgoing mail can be opened and inspected for contraband and incoming funds.

Books, magazines, newspapers, legal mail and medical mail use a different destination. The county policy directs those categories to: Inmate’s full name Natrona County Detention Center 201 N David Casper, WY 82601 Legal and medical mail are not accepted at the Longview processing destination.

Books, magazines and newspapers must come directly from the publisher, be requested by the inmate and have Jail Administrator approval. Hardback books are not allowed, and Bibles must be supplied by facility-approved chaplains.

You can reach the detention center at 307-235-9521.
