How to Send Mail and Photos to Someone at Rappahannock Regional Jail

RRJ uses TextBehind.com to process all personal inmate correspondence. Send your letters and photos through the vendor - don't mail personal correspondence directly to the jail.

When mailing through USPS, address the envelope exactly as RRJ requires. Put your full name and address in the upper-left corner. In the center, write: "Rappahannock Regional Jail, VA" on the first line, then "Inmate's Name, Inmate Identifier" below that, followed by "P.O. Box 247" and "Phoenix, MD 21131." Double-check the inmate's legal name and ID number - getting these right prevents delays.

Address it like this: Sender (upper left): Full Name & Full Address. Address to: Rappahannock Regional Jail, VA / Inmate’s Name, Inmate Identifier / P.O. Box 247 / Phoenix, MD 21131.

Don't overdo it in one envelope. RRJ allows a maximum of 20 photos per mailing.

Warning: Don’t mail blank envelopes, blank paper, stamps, or pre-paid envelopes to RRJ - these items aren’t allowed through the mail and should be obtained through commissary.
