How to send messages, photos, and packages
Richmond Corrections Facility uses TextBehind to manage incoming postal mail rather than processing everything onsite. The vendor screens and scans mail at an offsite facility to catch contraband before it reaches inmates. Like many North Carolina jails, non-legal letters get scanned and delivered digitally—originals aren't handed over. Packages and publications follow different rules and may need to go directly to the facility or through approved vendors. One thing to know: the vendor only holds original letters briefly. If you want yours back, request it quickly. To avoid delays, follow the vendor's required address format exactly and include the inmate's ID number and the facility's full name.

Letters are typically screened and scanned by an offsite vendor and delivered digitally to the inmate. Originals are usually held only briefly, so you’ll need to request a return within the vendor’s allowed window if you want the physical letter back.
Use the vendor’s required address format and include the inmate’s ID number and the facility’s full name. Non-legal mail is generally sent through USPS or submitted through the vendor’s app/web process, following the vendor’s instructions.
