Sending Mail to Someone at Ventress Correctional Facility: Address and Contact Details
Getting mail to someone at Ventress depends on using the right address. Here's exactly what you need to know so your letter, package, or legal mail doesn't get delayed or sent back.
Ventress Correctional Facility is located at Hwy 239 N, Clayton, AL 36016. The phone number is (334) 775-3331. This street address is also where you'll send packages and legal mail (more on that below).
Notice: After November 10, 2025, the facility will no longer accept personal mail sent directly to Ventress. Letters, pictures, and drawings from family and friends are now delivered digitally through the tablet's "Facility Messages" app under a free profile.
For personal mail, send it to the centralized ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing P.O. Box, not the Ventress street address. Write "ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing" on the envelope along with the incarcerated person's name and AIS number. Include the sender's full name and physical return address in the top left corner. Use this format: ALDOC Inmate Mail Processing Inmate Name - Inmate AIS number P.O. Box 17339 San Antonio, TX 78217
Packages and legal mail still go to the facility's street address, not the centralized P.O. Box. For Ventress, send them to: Hwy 239 N, Clayton, AL 36016.
