What to write on the envelope: Monroe Detention Center mail and return‑address rules
Mail sent to Monroe Detention Center can be rejected and returned if the envelope is missing required names or addresses. Use the checklist below to format incoming and outgoing envelopes exactly the way the facility expects.
Every envelope going into Monroe Detention Center needs the sender's name and a return address on the front. Missing either one? The facility will send it back.
Tip: For the sender name on incoming mail, a first-name initial is acceptable.
Address the envelope using the incarcerated person's complete first and last name exactly as it was entered at booking. Nicknames and gang monikers won't work. The facility only delivers mail addressed to the legal booking name.
When the incarcerated person sends mail out, the return address must follow a specific format. The required return address is: Monroe Detention Center, 140A Tony Diaz Drive, Woodland, California 95776.
