How to Send Mail to Someone at Yakima County Jail (Securus PO Box Steps)
Sending mail to Yakima County Jail isn't complicated once you know the process. Here's the exact address and formatting you'll need, including the Securus PO Box in Tampa.
Yakima County Jail uses Securus, a third-party vendor, to process inmate mail. Send general correspondence to the Securus processing address - not directly to the jail: Inmate Name and ID Number, Yakima County WA, PO Box 20888, Tampa FL 33622.
Before sealing the envelope, check the basics that can get mail kicked back. Use a white envelope and write a clear return address in pen so it can be routed - or returned - correctly.
The ID number matters just as much as the name. Yakima County Jail expects a 6-digit ID number. If yours is shorter, add a 0 to the beginning until it reaches six digits. This helps Securus and the jail match your letter to the right person.
Example address line: Inmate Name and ID Number, Yakima County WA, PO Box 20888, Tampa FL 33622.
Yakima County is strict about mailing requirements. Any inmate mail received after 1/23/23 that doesn't meet guidelines will not be forwarded - it gets returned to the sender.
Through the vendor, the jail only accepts money orders, legal mail, or official mail. Anything else will likely be rejected under current rules.
Legal mail works differently. Send it directly to Yakima County Jail - not through Securus. This is the safest way to ensure it's routed as legal correspondence.
- ✓ Write “Legal Mail” in the bottom left or right corner of the envelope
- ✓ Include the inmate’s name and booking number
- ✓ Address it to: Yakima County Department of Corrections, 111 N Front Street, Yakima, WA 98901
Note: Legal mail can be sent directly to the jail. If you send something through the vendor that doesn’t meet requirements, mail received after 1/23/23 will be returned to the sender.
