Union Corrections Institute supports gift ordering through iCare Gifts. You shop an online catalog tailored to the facility, and iCare handles fulfillment and delivery. The process is simple: locate the incarcerated person in iCare's system, browse the Union Corrections Institute catalog, and check out online. For traditional letters, facilities typically separate mail into general correspondence (opened and inspected by staff) and privileged/legal mail (opened only in the inmate's presence)—though exact handling varies. To avoid delays, address every envelope with the inmate's full name, booking/ID number, and your return address. Stick to plain paper and permitted envelopes. Rules around scanning, digital delivery, and acceptable items can change across Florida facilities, so confirm current format requirements on the facility page.
