How to send messages, photos, and packages
Mailing someone at Taycheedah Corrections Institution? Most personal letters go through TextBehind, a third-party scanning service that delivers digital copies to residents. The originals are held briefly, then shredded 30 days after scanning by an NSA-certified vendor. Legal and medical mail works differently—TextBehind won't open or process clearly marked legal or medical correspondence. Those items go directly to the institution. To avoid delays, use a clear return address and include the resident's full legal name and inmate/DOC number so your letter reaches the right person.
