How to address mail to Sacramento County Main Jail (Securus Digital Mail Center format)

Every piece of mail needs two things: a complete return name and address, and the correct Securus Digital Mail Center destination. The jail requires all correspondence - including money orders - to include your full return name and address. Inmate mail goes to the Securus Digital Mail Center – Sacramento Main PO Box in Lebanon, Missouri. Stick to the exact format and you'll avoid preventable delays.

Use this as a copyable template: RETURN ADDRESS: Your Full Name 1234 Your Street Sacramento, CA 95814 INMATE ADDRESS: Incarcerated person name and x-reference # C/O Securus Digital Mail Center-Sacramento Main PO BOX 431 Lebanon, MO 65536 Example: Doe, John X-1234567 C/O Securus Digital Mail Center-Sacramento Main PO BOX 431 Lebanon, MO 65536

The jail asks you to include both the X-Reference number and housing location on everything you mail. Why? With a large population in custody, those details help staff match your mail to the right person faster - which means fewer delays and quicker delivery.

Put the X-Reference number right after the person's name on the inmate address line - like "Doe, John X-1234567." Also include the housing location. Main Jail requires both on mailed items to keep things moving.

Sending a money order or deposit? It goes to the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center IWF Office - the same address used for RCCC deposits. Mail it to: Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Attn: IWF Office 12500 Bruceville Rd Elk Grove, CA 95757 Write the incarcerated person's full name and X-Reference number on the money order so it gets credited to the right account.

Common Mistakes

• ✓ Leaving off your complete return name and address
• ✓ Using the wrong destination (not addressing it to “C/O Securus Digital Mail Center-Sacramento Main, PO BOX 431, Lebanon, MO 65536”)
• ✓ Forgetting the incarcerated person’s full name and X-Reference number on the inmate address line
• ✓ Skipping the housing location on mailed items
• ✓ Sending letters/enclosures with prohibited add-ons like adhesives or bulky/attached items (for example, stickers, tape/glue, padded materials, or similar attachments)

Before you seal the envelope, do a quick check: complete return address, the Securus PO Box 431 line, the incarcerated person's full name, and the X-Reference number. If you have the housing location, add that too - Main Jail requires it, and it's one of the easiest ways to prevent delays.
