LIAM Safe vs. Postal Mail: How to Send Letters & Photos to Riverhead (Suffolk County)
Trying to send a letter or photos to someone at Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead? You have two main options: LIAM Safe (a digital upload that prints on-site) or traditional USPS mail. Here's how each works, what it costs, and the photo rules that catch people off guard.
Suffolk County promotes LIAM Safe as the safest way to send mail to an inmate. Your letters and photos are encrypted, which is why the facility steers families toward this option for personal messages and pictures.
With LIAM Safe, nothing goes through the post office. You upload your letter or photos, pay, and the items print immediately at the facility. Timing matters - send early enough in the day, and your loved one could receive everything that same day.
Head to SuffolkCountyNY.LiamSafe.com to get started. That's where you'll compose a letter or upload photos for someone housed at the Riverhead facility.
- ✓ Photos: $1.19 per photo
- ✓ Letters: $0.60 per page
Sending traditional USPS mail? Address your letter like this: C/O Inmate's Name Suffolk County Correctional Facility 110 Center Drive South Riverhead, NY 11901
Tip: If your loved one has a common name, add their date of birth on the front of the envelope to help the facility route it correctly.
Photo rules apply whether you use LIAM Safe or mail. Inmates can keep 15 photos total - send more, and the extras go into their property storage. Every photo is subject to review, so keep content and context in mind before hitting send.
Not allowed: Polaroid pictures and photos larger than 5" x 7" aren’t allowed in incoming mail.
LIAM Safe is the better pick when speed matters. Your uploads print at the facility and can reach your loved one the same day, making it ideal for time-sensitive updates or a quick morale boost. Just know the costs: $1.19 per photo and $0.60 per page for letters. The 15-photo limit still applies - extras go into property, and every photo is reviewed.
USPS mail works well when you're planning ahead and prefer the traditional route. Use the facility's address exactly as listed: C/O Inmate's Name, Suffolk County Correctional Facility, 110 Center Drive South, Riverhead, NY 11901.
