Oldham County Jail mail addresses (what changed on June 30, 2025)

As of June 30, 2025, Oldham County Detention Center requires all mail to go to the addresses listed on its website. Send it somewhere else, and it gets rejected. Double-check which address applies to your situation - regular mail, legal mail, and money orders each have their own.

For regular letters from friends and family, use this address. Include the incarcerated person's name and ID number: [Inmate Name - Inmate ID#] Oldham County Jail, KY PO Box 76550 Highland Heights, KY 41076

Legal mail from attorneys and money orders go to a different address. Again, include the inmate's name and ID number: [Inmate Name - Inmate ID#] Oldham County Jail, KY 3405 Kentucky 146 La Grange, KY 40031

Here's where it gets confusing: different pages on the facility's website show slightly different wording. The mail page lists "3405 Kentucky 146, La Grange, KY 40031" for legal mail and money orders. Another page says to send postal money orders to "3405 West Highway 146, La Grange, KY 40031." Since the jail warns that mail to unlisted addresses will be rejected, verify the exact format before sending anything time-sensitive.

• ✓ Compare the address shown on the jail’s mail page to the one shown on the commissary/money-order instructions.
• ✓ Match what you’re sending to the right category (standard friends/family mail vs. legal mail vs. money order).
• ✓ Use the address format the facility is currently publishing for that category before you mail it.

Every envelope needs the inmate's name and ID number. Without the ID, your mail might not get accepted or could end up misrouted.

Include a return address. Skip it, and your mail may not clear screening - plus you won't get it back.

Stick to the size limits: nothing larger than 8 1/2 x 11 inches and no thicker than light card stock. The facility runs incoming mail through a sheet-fed scanner, so oversized or bulky items won't make it through.
