Two different mailing addresses at Tangipahoa Parish Jail: letters vs. books & publications
Tangipahoa Parish Jail has two separate mailing addresses — one for personal letters, another for books and publications. Send to the wrong PO Box and your mail will likely be delayed or rejected.
Personal letters go to the jail's mail-processing center in Longview, Texas. Address your envelope to the incarcerated person using their full name and Resident ID, then send it to: Tangipahoa Parish Jail – Louisiana, PO Box 591, Longview, Texas 75606. Missing the name or ID? The jail may not be able to match your letter to the right person.
- ✓ Inmate’s full name
- ✓ Resident ID number
Books, magazines, newspapers, and other publications go to a different address - not the same PO Box as personal letters. Send publications to: Tangipahoa Parish Prison, PO Box 250, Amite, LA 70422. You still need to include the inmate's full name and Resident ID on the package.
- ✓ Send publications directly from the publisher or company (not from a person)
- ✓ Put the inmate’s full name on the package
- ✓ Include the inmate’s Resident ID number on the package
Privacy reminder: All mail is scanned and inspected for contraband, obscenity, and rule violations. Anything you write can be used against the inmate in court.
If your mail gets returned or delayed - or you're unsure which address applies - call Tangipahoa Parish Jail and ask for the mailroom. Have the inmate's full name and Resident ID handy so staff can look up what went wrong and tell you how to fix it.
