How to Send Packages to Webster County Detention Center: Clothing, Books, and Religious Items

Webster County Detention Center allows clothing and certain religious items to be sent to inmates. This isn't handled like regular mail - there's a specific process, and the facility expects you to follow it. Before spending money on an order, make sure the inmate has requested the items and the facility has approved them. That approval step prevents delays, rejections, and returned packages.

Start with the inmate. Webster County Detention Center requires inmates to fill out a property request form listing the specific items to be sent. Without that form, items won't make it through the property process. If you're planning to send clothing or a religious item, ask your loved one to submit the request first - and to list exactly what you intend to order.

After the property request form is submitted, you wait for approval. The facility requires items to be approved before they're ordered. Don't check out online until you get the go-ahead - if an item isn't approved, the facility may reject it when it arrives.

Ready to order? Webster County Detention Center requires items to ship directly from a verifiable vendor. The package needs to come straight from a retailer the facility can verify - Amazon and Walmart are examples they list.

• ✓ Expect the package to be examined before it’s given to the inmate.
• ✓ Keep the vendor’s packaging intact.
• ✓ Save your order confirmation/receipt and tracking information in case you need to follow up.

All packages are subject to examination, so delivery may take longer than the shipping estimate you see at checkout. Ordering from a verifiable vendor also matters for acceptance - if a package doesn't meet facility requirements, it may never reach the inmate even if the carrier shows it as delivered to the jail.

If a package isn't accepted, Webster County Detention Center returns it to the sender. Frustrating, but expected. Keep your tracking number and vendor receipt - you'll need them to confirm where the package went and handle any return or refund with the seller.

1. Check the tracking history - confirm whether it shows a return in progress or a return-to-sender scan.
2. Contact the vendor with your receipt/order details - ask about their return/refund process for shipments that are sent back.
3. Confirm the next order ships directly from a verifiable vendor - the facility requires direct-from-vendor shipping (for example, Amazon or Walmart), and that’s one of the first things to double-check before reordering.
