How to Contact an Inmate at Sebastian County Detention (AR)

Sebastian County Detention uses a mail-scanning vendor for all non-legal and non-commercial mail. Your letter gets scanned and delivered electronically to the inmate through kiosks or tablets. The original is then destroyed. Don't send anything you need returned.

For non-legal and non-commercial mail, use this exact addressing format. Write the offender's first and last name and their ID number, then: Sebastian County Detention Center P. O. Box 247 Phoenix, MD 21131 Print the inmate's name and ID number clearly on the outside. This helps staff and the vendor match your mail to the right person.

Warning: If the inmate name and ID number aren't clearly printed on the outside of the envelope or postcard, your mail could be lost.

Steps to Follow

  • Write the address exactly as: Offender First and Last Name + Offender ID Number, Sebastian County Detention Center, P. O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131.
  • Print the inmate’s name and ID number clearly on the outside of the envelope or postcard.
  • Send only what you are comfortable being scanned. Non-legal and non-commercial mail is delivered electronically, and the original item is destroyed.

You can also send messages through CorrectPay. Select Arkansas as the location, choose Sebastian County Jail as the facility, then pick "Send Message" as the service.

Fee note: There may be charges associated with CorrectPay services for both you and the inmate.

How to Contact an Inmate at Sebastian County Detention (AR)

Before sending anything, confirm the current rules. Mail scanning practices can be strict, so verify you're using the correct format and address for non-legal, non-commercial mail. If you plan to message through CorrectPay, check that "Send Message" is available for Sebastian County Jail and review any fees that apply.

  1. Confirm the current mail process: Check the facility’s posted instructions to make sure non-legal, non-commercial mail is still scanned and the originals are destroyed.
  2. Check CorrectPay service availability: In CorrectPay, verify Arkansas, Sebastian County Jail, and “Send Message” are available for your inmate.
  3. Verify the inmate ID and addressing before mailing: Use the inmate’s full name and ID number on the outside of the envelope or postcard so your mail is not lost.
