For standard legal mail, address it to York County Prison, 3400 Concord Road, York, PA 17402. One thing to keep in mind: incoming legal or special correspondence is limited to 75 pages or less.

Incoming legal or special correspondence at York County Prison is limited to 75 pages or less. Send more than that, and the entire mailing gets returned to you with a notice explaining why. The inmate will also be notified.

1. Confirm the total page count - If the legal or special correspondence is more than 75 pages, it cannot be received and processed under the standard limit.
2. Obtain an appropriate court order - The sender must get a court order authorizing the prison to receive and process the materials that exceed 75 pages.
3. Resend the materials with the order - Once you have the court order, submit the oversized legal or special correspondence so it can be accepted and processed for the inmate.

Once a legal email comes in, mailroom clerks open and print it in the presence of the inmate. The inmate signs for the delivery and receives a copy of a receipt listing the sender and documents received. If you need to track what was delivered, that receipt serves as the facility's official record of what the inmate was provided.
