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.
