Nisqually Public Safety, WA

All mail for Nisqually Corrections must include the inmate's full name and facility identifier, sent to P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Books, magazines, and newspapers must come directly from the publisher—items from individuals won't be accepted. Don't mail property; it won't be delivered. The facility also isn't responsible for cash or items lost in transit. Hand-delivering correspondence or funds isn't allowed either. Send letters through USPS or an authorized carrier, and use the facility's automated services for deposits. Include a clear return address, and leave out cash, checks, or stamps.

Nisqually Corrections uses Summit Food Services/JailATM for commissary deposits. Add funds by phone at 1-877-810-0914 or through the JailATM web deposit portal. Prefer paying in person? Use the front-lobby kiosk. You can also mail a money order to 11702 Yelm Hwy SE, Olympia, WA 98513—write the inmate's full name on it. Credit cards and personal checks aren't accepted. If a defendant has cash at booking, it may go toward bail. Cash bail can be posted 24 hours a day at the facility. When someone is released, any remaining funds come on a pre-loaded debit card.

Start with the Nisqually online inmate roster to find someone in custody. It's maintained through Executive Information Systems Jail Management Software and updated multiple times each day. The facility won't share information about specific cases, court appearances, or schedules—contact the appropriate court for that. Nisqually Public Safety also won't give out personal information by phone (including hearing, charging, medical, or release details) and doesn't accept messages for people held there. Under Washington State law, inmate jail records are confidential, with only the information outlined in RCW 70.48.100 available publicly. For better results, search by last name and first name, use a booking date range, try wildcards for partial spellings, and apply filters like "in-custody."

Nisqually Corrections Bureau operates the Nisqually Corrections Center, a 288-bed facility that opened in March 2014. Beyond secure detention, it offers alternatives like work release, day reporting, and electronic home monitoring. The center's philosophy centers on Restorative Justice—respect, repairing harm, responsibility, relationships, and reintegration—which shapes its programming and reentry efforts. Nisqually also partners with local cities and serves as a violator facility for the Washington State Department of Corrections, linking local custody with state supervision.
