Mailing Letters and Photos to Someone at Ventura County Jail: Address and Rules
Sending mail to Ventura County Jail is simple, but small mistakes—like forgetting the booking number or including too many photos—can delay delivery or get your envelope sent back. Follow the address format and rules below to make sure your mail gets through.
Include the incarcerated person's full name and booking number on every envelope. Mail goes to: P.O. Box 6929, Ventura, CA 93006. The booking number is essential - without it, your mail may be returned.
Photo Limits
- ✓ No more than five (5) 4×6 photographs per envelope.
Incarcerated individuals can only keep 20 photographs in their cell at a time, regardless of how many envelopes you send. If they're already near that limit, they'll have to decide which photos to keep and which to let go.
Legal mail - from courts or attorneys - gets special handling. Staff open and inspect it for contraband while the inmate is present, keeping the contents confidential while still checking for prohibited items.
Note: After it’s screened in the inmate’s presence, legal mail is given to the inmate without delay.
Non-legal mail goes through Detention Services, where security personnel screen it before delivery. This is standard procedure for all incoming items at the facility.
Welfare Kit
- ✓ One welfare kit per week (per inmate)
- ✓ One postage-paid postcard
- ✓ One postage-paid envelope
- ✓ 2 sheets of paper
- ✓ One pencil
- ✓ One eraser
Ventura County Jail only accepts government checks from local, state, or federal agencies. The check must arrive in the issuing agency's official envelope - otherwise, it won't be accepted.
