How to Send Mail to Someone at Pocatello Women's Correctional Center
Sending mail to someone at Pocatello Women's Correctional Center (PWCC) is straightforward—just use the right address and follow the mail rules.
Use the facility-specific mailing address listed on PWCC's individual facility page - not the generic Boise P.O. Box from the statewide mail guidelines. The PWCC facility-page address ensures your letter gets routed correctly and avoids delays or returns.
Need to double-check details before sending? You can reach PWCC directly at pwcc@idoc.idaho.gov or 208-236-6360.
Residents can receive personal letters from family and friends, but packages aren't allowed. Stick to standard letters (and approved photos, if you include them) rather than anything that could be treated as a package.
- ✓ No Polaroid photos
- ✓ No photos showing nudity
Your mail will be screened when it arrives. All personal letters are opened and searched for contraband before delivery.
If something in your mailing isn't allowed, it won't just be ignored - unacceptable items are either returned to the sender or turned over to the proper authorities.
Thinking about sending stamps, envelopes, or stationery? PWCC doesn't accept these from outside. Residents with funds purchase postage and envelopes through the commissary, so consider supporting them another way.
- Know what “indigent” means here - if a PWCC resident does not have funds, they’re considered indigent.
- Use the weekly provided supplies - indigent residents are provided stationery and postage for one personal letter per week.
