The Right Way to Address Mail to Nisqually Corrections (use the Phoenix, MD PO Box)

To send mail to someone at Nisqually Corrections, you need to use the facility's required format and the Phoenix, Maryland P.O. Box. Address your envelope exactly like this: Nisqually Corrections, WA Inmate Name, Inmate Identifier P.O. Box 247 Phoenix, MD 21131

• ✓ Nisqually Corrections, WA
• ✓ Inmate full name
• ✓ Inmate identifier
• ✓ P.O. Box 247
• ✓ Phoenix, MD 21131

All mail must go through the U.S. Postal Service or an authorized carrier. You can't drop off letters at the facility. Use the P.O. Box address to make sure your mail gets into the processing system.

The same rule applies to money. Nisqually Corrections won't accept cash or funds delivered in person. All deposits must go through the automated services provided by Summit and Viapath.

Want to send books or magazines? They must come directly from the publisher. Nisqually Corrections won't accept reading materials mailed from a personal address.

Two common mistakes get mail rejected: trying to hand-deliver it, or sending property. The facility doesn't accept in-person drop-offs, and no property will be accepted through the mail.

• ✓ Greeting or holiday cards
• ✓ Postcards
