How to Send Mail to Someone at Taylor County Jail (FL) — mailing address, scanning rules, and checklist
Sending mail to Taylor County Jail? Here's the key detail: personal mail goes to a PO Box for scanning and kiosk delivery, while legal mail follows a separate process.
Taylor County Jail uses two separate mail paths. Legal mail is the only type accepted directly at the jail - it gets searched before being handed to the inmate. Personal mail works differently. You send it to a PO Box, where it's digitally scanned and delivered to your loved one through a kiosk. They'll see a digital copy, not the original paper letter.
Not sure if it's legal or personal mail? Call the jail before sending anything. Legal mail goes directly to the facility; personal mail goes to the PO Box for scanning.
For personal mail, use the inmate's full legal name and inmate ID number. Send it to the jail's PO Box in Waycross, Georgia: Taylor County Jail Inmate Legal Name & Inmate ID Number PO BOX 1759 Waycross, GA 31502 Include your return name and address on the envelope, and don't forget the stamp.
Return address required: Mail without a return name and address won't be processed.
Personal mail doesn't go straight to the housing unit as paper. Once it arrives at the PO Box, staff digitally scan your letter and deliver it to the inmate through a kiosk. Your loved one sees a digital version - not the original envelope and pages.
- ✓ Keep everything at or under 8.5 x 11 inches
- ✓ Photos, drawings, and similar items are accepted for scanning as long as they’re under the size limit
- ✓ Do not send packages to the PO Box
- ✓ Do not send magazines to the PO Box
Legal mail follows a different path. It's the only mail accepted directly into Taylor County Jail. Staff search it thoroughly before delivering it to the inmate. If you're sending legal mail, address it clearly to the inmate so it routes correctly after inspection.
Want to include photos or drawings? You can - as long as they're under 8.5 x 11 inches. They'll be scanned and delivered through the kiosk just like letters. One thing to avoid: don't send packages or magazines to the PO Box. The facility won't accept them there.
