How to Send Mail to Sedgwick County Jail (the digital scanning system and addresses)
Sending mail to someone at Sedgwick County Jail works differently than you might expect—most personal mail gets scanned and delivered digitally. Here's what you need to know about addresses, limits, and which mail goes where.
Sedgwick County Jail scans incoming mail and delivers it to inmates electronically. Your letter and any photos you include won't arrive as physical items - the inmate sees a digital copy instead.
Warning: Inmates cannot receive parcels or packages. Only standard personal letters and photos are accepted for scanning.
For letters that go through the JailATM scanning system, address your envelope to the inmate's name and number at: P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401.
Legal mail follows a different process. Send it directly to the facility: Inmate Name, 141 W Elm, Wichita KS 67203.
Paperback books must come directly from the publisher and go to: Inmate Name, 141 W. Elm, Wichita KS 67203. There's a strict limit of two paperbacks per week. Send more than two, and the whole package gets returned to the publisher.
Note: Paperback publications are only allowed if they come directly from the publisher or merchant, and they can’t include nudity/partial nudity, sexually explicit content, obscenity, or subversive material.
Since personal mail is scanned, the facility doesn't keep the originals. All scanned mail is destroyed after 60 days.
- ✓ Keep printed material small enough to fit in a first-class letter.
- ✓ Make sure the total weight does not exceed one ounce.
- ✓ This printed-material limit includes newspaper and magazine clippings.
