What You Can Mail to Someone in Palo Pinto Jail — Address, Prohibited Content, and the Soft-Sided Bible Exception

Send all inmate correspondence to: P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484.

The jail won't accept mail containing "inappropriate and/or gruesome" subject matter. This includes images showing nudity, sexual acts, or physical violence. If you're sending photos, drawings, or printed images, check them carefully for anything that could be seen as sexual content or graphic violence. This rule applies to what you write, too. Even without photos, avoid describing sexual acts or violence in graphic detail. When in doubt, leave it out. One questionable item can get the whole mailing rejected.

Soft-sided Bibles are a specific exception. You can bring one to the jail in person for an inmate, or have it shipped directly from the supplier.

Beyond the soft-sided Bible exception, everything else needs prior approval. The rule is straightforward: all other items must be pre-approved by Jail Administration before you bring them in or have them sent.

• ✓ Contact Jail Administration and get pre-approval before sending or bringing any item other than a soft-sided Bible
• ✓ If you are shipping a soft-sided Bible from a supplier, confirm it will be shipped directly from the supplier to the jail
• ✓ Keep any approval information and receipts so you can reference them if there is a question about the item
