What You Can — and Can't — Mail to Someone at Suffolk County Correctional Facility (Riverhead)
Mail rules can feel picky. But getting the basics right means the difference between your letter arriving or getting rejected. Here's what you need to know to make sure your mail reaches someone at Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead.
Address your envelope like this: C/O Inmate’s Name Suffolk County Correctional Facility 110 Center Drive South Riverhead, NY 11901
If the person you’re writing to has a common name, add their date of birth on the front of the envelope. That extra detail helps the mailroom match your letter to the right person.

Don't slip stamps or postage inside the envelope. Even if you're trying to help them send letters back, tucking postage into your mail can get the whole thing rejected.
