Can You Send Care Packages to Snohomish County Jail? Using Access Securepak

Snohomish County Jail does not accept care packages through the mail or delivered in person. Show up with a box of items or try to ship one in, and it won't be treated as an approved delivery.

This connects to how the jail handles personal mail. Incoming letters are scanned and delivered digitally to inmates on a jail-issued tablet - the originals get destroyed after scanning. Mail sent to the jail's physical street address in Everett won't be accepted and will be returned. So trying to send a "package" to that address won't work either.

The right way to send permitted items is through Access Securepak. Snohomish County Jail allows family and friends to order specific categories - hygiene items, underwear, and writing supplies - through the Access Securepak website. Your order goes through the approved system instead of getting rejected like a mailed package would.

Prefer not to order online? You can place an order by phone instead. Call 800-546-6283 for Snohomish County Jail commissary ordering through Access Securepak.

You can also deposit money into the person's account so they can buy commissary items themselves. Deposits are available 24/7 through Access Secure Deposits - call 866-345-1884 or use the Access Corrections website. Phone and internet deposits come with a non-refundable fee paid by the customer. You'll need the inmate's 7-digit global subject number for the funds to post.

What you can send depends on what's approved in the Access Securepak catalog for Snohomish County Jail. Stick to the catalog and the jail's commissary information rather than guessing based on what's allowed elsewhere - that's the most reliable way to avoid ordering something that won't be delivered.

1. Plan around the weekly order cycle - Inmates may place commissary orders once a week; orders are placed each Saturday and processed Sunday morning.
2. Deposit funds before the cutoff - Money must be deposited into the inmate’s account by 11:00 pm on Saturday for them to receive commissary the following week.

• ✓ Don’t mail or drop off a care package at Snohomish County Jail; it won’t be accepted.
• ✓ Use Access Securepak online to order approved items.

Access Secure Deposits is available 24 hours a day by phone or internet, which helps when you're trying to meet the Saturday night deadline. Before you submit anything, have the inmate's 7-digit global subject number ready - deposits require it. And remember: phone and internet deposits include a non-refundable fee paid by the customer.
