Sending Books & Magazines to Victoria County Jail — Publisher-Only Rules and Two-Book Limit
Sending reading material to someone at Victoria County Jail is possible, but a few strict rules can trip you up. Here's how to get books and magazines accepted on the first try.
Victoria County Jail only accepts books and magazines shipped directly from the publisher - and they must be new. That means orders through Amazon.com or Redbird won't make it through, even if the book itself is brand-new. Getting the right title isn't enough; it has to come from the right sender.
Reminder: Before you place the order, double-check that the sender is the publisher. If it’s coming from Amazon.com or Redbird, it won’t be accepted.
Magazine options are limited. Victoria County Jail only accepts magazines in the SPORTS or NEWS categories - anything else will be rejected.
There's also a timing restriction. The jail allows one book or magazine every two weeks - essentially two per month.
Content Restrictions
- ✓ Sexually explicit content
- ✓ Gang-related content
- ✓ Tattooing content
- ✓ Anything (legal or illegal) that undermines facility security
Victoria County Jail enforces a two-book possession limit. If your loved one already has two books, anything else you send gets returned. Check what they currently have before ordering another one.
The jail doesn't store books in inmate property. Once your loved one finishes a book, they'll need to donate it to the facility or arrange for someone to pick it up.
- Confirm the sender is the publisher - Victoria County Jail accepts books and magazines from the publisher only, and books sent through Amazon.com or Redbird won’t be accepted.
- Stay within the timing limit - Plan for one book or magazine every two weeks (two per month).
- Check the two-book limit first - Ask your loved one how many books they already have so your shipment doesn’t get returned to the sender.
Heads up: Skip anything sexually explicit, gang-related, or connected to tattooing or facility security concerns. And remember - finished books won't be stored, so plan for donation or pickup.
