What You Can't Put in Letters to Webster County Inmates (And What Happens If You Do)

Skip stickers entirely when sending letters, cards, or photos. Even small decorative seals or sticker borders can get your mail rejected. Keep everything flat and plain.

Glitter is off-limits too - both loose glitter and glittery decorations on the paper. Anything that sheds or transfers creates problems during mail handling, so avoid it altogether.

No scents: Don't spray perfume or cologne on letters, cards, or photos. Scented mail gets returned to sender due to allergy concerns.

Don't include stamps inside your mail. Even if you're trying to help them write back, Webster County Detention Center won't allow it.

Envelopes aren't allowed either. If you usually tuck extra envelopes inside a letter so your loved one can respond, leave them out - including them can get your mail rejected.
