How to Send Mail to Someone at Richmond County Jail: Two Different Addresses Explained

Richmond County Jail separates regular inmate mail from legal correspondence, and the address you use matters. Standard (non-legal) mail from friends and family must go to: PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Mail from lawyers or other legal representation goes to the jail's physical location in Augusta: 1941 Phinizy Rd, Augusta, GA 30906. The jail says mail sent to the wrong address will be rejected, so double-check before you drop it in the mailbox.

How to Format Envelope

• ✓ Inmate’s full name (as it appears in jail records)
• ✓ Inmate ID number (on the same address block as the name)
• ✓ Your full return address on the envelope

Put the inmate's full name and inmate ID on the first line of the mailing address, not tucked somewhere else on the envelope. That combination is how staff match your letter to the right person, especially when inmates share similar names. Include a clear return address, too. Richmond County Jail requires one on all incoming mail, and missing return info is one of the fastest ways to get a letter refused.

For non-legal mail, keep your pages simple and easy to scan. Richmond County Jail requires incoming mail to be no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches (standard letter size) and no thicker than light card stock. Everything also needs to feed through a sheet-fed scanner. Oversized pages or thick materials that can't be scanned will likely be rejected.
