How to send messages, photos, and packages

Overview

Riverbend Corrections Facility uses Access Securepak for packages—not the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) Union Supply program—until further notice. The statewide GDC guidance describes Union Supply as the approved vendor for inmate food packages, with mail orders sent to a Dallas, Texas address and phone or fax ordering available. The GDC program has strict rules: orders must arrive by the deadline, a $2.95 non-refundable shipping and handling fee applies, and spending and weight caps limit packages. State prisons and ITFs allow $100 or 15 lbs; probation detention centers allow $50 or 7 lbs. Multiple orders may be consolidated into one package within those limits. For personal mail, include the incarcerated person's full name and GDC/inmate number. Expect all mail to be screened through a central processing service.

How to Send a Food Package to Someone at Riverbend (Riverbend uses Access Securepak)

Riverbend is an exception to Georgia's standard food package program. While most Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities use Union Supply for food packages, Riverbend Private Prison uses Access Securepak — and that's not changing anytime soon. This matters because the ordering instructions you'll find for Union Supply (including contact info) apply to State Prisons, Integrated Treatment Facilities (ITFs), and Probation Detention Centers in that program. They don't apply to Riverbend.

Common Questions

Why does Riverbend use Access Securepak instead of Union Supply?

Riverbend is listed as using the Access Securepak package program instead of Union Supply until further notice. Union Supply is the GDC-approved vendor described in the statewide food package program, but Riverbend is an exception.

How do I order a food package for someone at Riverbend Corrections Facility?

For Riverbend, place orders through Access Securepak per the facility notice—though the provided sources don't include Access Securepak contact details. At other GDC facilities using Union Supply, you can order by mail to the program's Dallas, TX address, by phone at 1-562-361-5719 or 1-855-247-0563, or by fax at 1-310-603-1188.

Are there limits, fees, or deadlines for food package orders?

Yes. The GDC program sets spending and weight limits (for example, $100 or 15 lbs for state prisons/ITFs and $50 or 7 lbs for probation detention centers) and may consolidate multiple orders into one package within those limits. Orders received after the deadline won’t be accepted, and Union Supply orders include a $2.95 non‑refundable shipping and handling fee.
