Mailing Letters to Someone at Will County ADF: Address, Booking Number, and What Not to Send
Missing the right address format or booking number? Your letter probably won't get delivered. Use the exact format below, keep your envelope simple, and skip the common items that get sent back.
Mail for someone at Will County Adult Detention Facility goes through Smart Communications. Address it exactly like this: Smart Communications/ Will Co. Adult Det. Ct., the person's name and booking number, PO Box 9172, Seminole, FL 33775-9175. That name + booking number line is part of the address - leave it off and your letter won't arrive.
Format it on the envelope like this: Smart Communications/ Will Co. Adult Det. Ct. [Person's Full Name] [Booking Number] PO Box 9172 Seminole, FL 33775-9175 Double-check that booking number before you mail anything. One wrong digit means delays or a returned letter.
Will County ADF requires the booking number on all inmate mail. It's how staff match letters to the right person - especially when multiple people share similar names.
Don't have the booking number? Look it up on the facility's Online Inmate Search before sending anything. Once you have it, include it on every piece of mail.
Stick to the size rules: envelopes can't be larger than 8.5 by 11 inches, and oversized greeting cards aren't allowed.
