Common Questions
Q
What address should I use to mail a letter or photos that will reach an inmate?
It depends on where they are housed. For Wisconsin DOC personal (non-legal) mail, Wisconsin DOC lists TextBehind at P.O. Box 189, Phoenix, MD 21131, and says to include the sender return address plus the person’s full name, DOC number, and facility name. For a county jail example, Walworth County Jail provides a jail address format that includes the inmate name and SPN (Specific Person Number) at 1770 County Road NN, Elkhorn, WI 53121.
