How to Send Money to Facility

Money orders at Rock Island County Jail don't go through the scanned electronic mail process. Send them directly to the jail's physical address: Rock Island County Jail, 1317 Third Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201. If you accidentally send a money order to the scanning mail address, it may not be processed correctly.

Legal mail (attorney-client privileged correspondence) also skips the scanning process. Send it directly to the facility, not the electronic-mail PO Box. If legal mail goes to the wrong address, the jail will return it to you without forwarding it.

Personal mail that gets scanned uses a separate address. Send it to: Detainee Name & ID Number, Rock Island County Jail, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Include the full facility name and state on the envelope, along with the inmate's full name and unique identifier. Put your full name and physical address in the top-left corner as the return address.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Send money orders directly to Rock Island County Jail, 1317 Third Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201
• ✓ Do not mail money orders to the scanned electronic mail PO Box (money orders are excluded from that process)

• ✓ Mail legal (attorney-client) correspondence directly to Rock Island County Jail, not to the electronic-mail PO Box
• ✓ If legal mail goes to the electronic-mail address, it will be returned to sender and will not be forwarded

• ✓ For personal mail that will be scanned, address it to: Detainee Name & ID Number, Rock Island County Jail, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076
• ✓ On the envelope, include the full facility name and state, plus the inmate’s full name and unique identifier
• ✓ Write your full name and physical address clearly in the top-left corner as the sender

Before mailing anything, double-check you're using the physical jail address for money orders and legal mail: Rock Island County Jail, 1317 Third Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201. A common mistake is sending legal mail to the electronic-mail PO Box. The jail will return it to you without forwarding.

Policies can change, so confirm current procedures before sending payments. The main thing to verify: money orders don't go through the scanned electronic mail system and should be mailed directly to the jail.

For personal mail going through scanning, confirm the PO Box address and envelope formatting before you send. The envelope needs the full facility name and state, the inmate's full name and unique identifier, and your full name and physical address in the top-left corner.
