Money Orders & Legal Mail: What NOT to Send to the TextBehind PO Box (Rock Island County Jail)

Rock Island County Jail uses a vendor P.O. Box for scanned personal mail through the TextBehind/ViaPath electronic system: PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. That address handles regular letters and personal correspondence - items that get scanned and delivered electronically. But two things should never go to that P.O. Box: money orders and attorney-client privileged (legal) mail. Send those directly to the jail's physical address instead.

Dont Send Items

• ✓ Money orders - do not mail these to the scanned-mail P.O. Box; send them to the Rock Island County Jail physical address instead.
• ✓ Attorney-client privileged (legal) mail - do not mail this to the scanned-mail P.O. Box; send it directly to the Rock Island County Jail physical address instead.

For Rock Island County Jail, legal mail and money orders need to go straight to the facility, not the scanned-mail P.O. Box. Use the jail’s physical address: 1317 3rd Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201. If you’re sending something time-sensitive (especially legal mail), double-check you’re using this physical address before you seal the envelope.

If what you’re really trying to do is make a payment (like cash bail), Rock Island County Correctional Center is listed with GovPayNow under PLC 6997. The phone number shown there is 309-558-3425, and the address listed is 1317 3rd Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201.

1. Write the full facility name and state - include the facility name and the state it’s in on the envelope.
2. Add the incarcerated person’s full name and ID - the envelope should clearly show their full name and unique identifier.
3. Include your full return address - put your full name and physical address in the top-left corner of the envelope.

Here's the real problem with using the wrong address: legal mail sent to the TextBehind/vendor P.O. Box gets returned to you. It won't be forwarded to the facility. Your mail doesn't "eventually get there" - it comes right back, and you'll have to resend it to the correct address.

• ✓ Confirm what you’re mailing: if it’s legal mail or includes a money order, it must go to 1317 3rd Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201.
• ✓ If you’re sending scanned personal mail, address it to PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076 and include the person’s name and ID number.
• ✓ Make sure the envelope shows the facility name and state, plus the incarcerated person’s full name and unique identifier.
• ✓ Write your full name and physical return address in the top-left corner.
• ✓ If you’re trying to handle cash bail/payment instead of mailing funds, verify the GovPayNow details for PLC 6997 or call 309-558-3425.
