How to Send Money to Facility

You can mail a money order or cashier's check made out to the inmate. Your envelope must include your name and a return address that's stamped or printed (not an address label), or it will be returned. Expect the envelope to be opened and inspected before delivery. All incoming mail goes through contraband screening, and legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Get a money order or cashier’s check made out to the inmate
• ✓ Put your name on the envelope as the sender
• ✓ Use a return address that is stamped or printed (do not use an address label)
• ✓ Mail it using the facility’s required inmate mailing format and address

1. Confirm the payment types they will accept: The mail rules list money orders and cashier’s checks made out to the inmate, but you should ask if any other options are allowed.
2. Verify the exact addressing rules for money mail: Confirm how the inmate’s name and other identifiers must appear, and confirm that a stamped or printed return address (not a label) is required.
3. Ask about inspection and handling: The facility states mail is opened and inspected, and legal mail is handled in the inmate’s presence. Ask if there are any additional restrictions that commonly cause money mail to be rejected.
4. Confirm limits and timing: Ask about any deposit limits, fees, or hold periods that might apply so you know when the funds will actually be available.
