How to Send Mail to Someone at Saline County Jail: Personal vs. Legal Addresses

Saline County Jail splits mail into two tracks. Personal mail goes through Smart Communications and must be addressed to a PO Box in Seminole, Florida. Legal and official items - court documents, bank statements, publications - go directly to the facility's PO Box in Salina, Kansas. This distinction matters. Send personal mail to the Salina address, or legal mail to the Seminole address, and your item may get delayed, misrouted, or never arrive as intended.

For personal mail, use this address. Include the inmate's full name and inmate number on the envelope: Smart Communications / Saline Co. Jail Inmate Name and Number (EXAMPLE: John Doe #123456) PO BOX 9174 Seminole, FL 33775-9174

For legal mail and official items - court documents, bank statements, publications - send directly to the facility in Salina: PO Box 1606 Salina, KS 67402

For reference, the facility’s street address is 800 E Pacific Ave, Salina, KS, and the jail’s phone number is (785) 826-6502.

The inmate's name and number are how Smart Communications matches your letter to the right person. Write it clearly on the front of the envelope:

• ✓ Write the inmate’s full name
• ✓ Include the inmate number (example format: John Doe #123456)
• ✓ Put the name and number on the front of the envelope in the address area
• ✓ Avoid abbreviations or nicknames that could make the inmate harder to identify
• ✓ Include your return address

What counts as legal or official mail? Court documents, bank statements, and publications. These go to PO Box 1606 in Salina, Kansas - straight to jail staff, not through the Seminole address used for personal letters.

1. Decide whether it’s personal or legal/official - Personal mail uses the Smart Communications / Saline Co. Jail address in Seminole, FL; legal mail, court documents, bank statements, and publications go to PO Box 1606 in Salina, KS.
2. Write the inmate’s name and number clearly - Use a simple format like “John Doe #123456” so it can be matched to the correct person.
3. Add a clear return address - If there’s a delivery issue, having a return address is what allows the mail to come back to you.
4. Consider tracking for time-sensitive mail - For anything urgent, tracking can help you confirm when it arrived at the address you used.
5. Keep a quick record of what you sent - Holding onto receipts and basic details (date sent, address used) makes follow-up easier if there’s a problem.

Mail delayed or returned? Not sure which address to use? Call the jail at (785) 826-6502. The Sheriff's Department Correction Services page also lists mailing addresses and describes visitation services. Rules can change, so a quick call can save you a week of frustration.
