The New Mail Address for Pickaway Correctional: What Changed on May 1, 2024
Sending a letter or card to someone at Pickaway Correctional Institution? The mailing address changed on May 1, 2024. Using the correct address helps your mail arrive faster.
As of May 1, 2024, all personal letters and cards for Pickaway Correctional Institution go to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's Mail Processing Center (OMPC) in Youngstown. Your handwritten letters and greeting cards no longer go directly to the facility - they're processed at OMPC first, then forwarded from there.
New personal mail address (OMPC): Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center (OMPC) 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road Youngstown, Ohio 44505
On the envelope, include the incarcerated person's name and ID number. Follow the format in the OMPC instructions - examples include "John Doe R111111" or "John Doe A555555." This helps match your mail to the right person during processing.
Sent something to the old Pickaway address by mistake? It'll get forwarded to the mail processing center. The downside: forwarding adds extra handling time, which can delay when your loved one actually receives it.
Reminder: Send personal letters and cards to the OMPC address - not the old facility address - so they reach your loved one without delays.
