How to send messages, photos, and packages
ADOC-approved inmate incentive and hygiene packages for North Alabama Community Work Center must be ordered using the approved order forms at www.alinmatepackage.com. Family and friends can place package orders through Union Supply—online, by phone, or by mail. Sending funds by money order? Follow the deposit form instructions closely and don't include cash, letters, stamps, photos, or notes with the money order. For regular correspondence, expect non-legal incoming letters to be opened and inspected for contraband and security concerns. To avoid delays or returns, use standard addressing: include the incarcerated person's full name, any required ID information, and your complete return address on every piece of mail.
