Incoming mail will only be delivered to the inmate it is addressed to.
Personal mail received for an inmate will be documented, opened, inspected, and may be read before delivery to the inmate.
No incoming mail will be accepted if there is any foreign substance on it, appears to be stained, has an aroma, or appears to contain contraband.
All incoming mail must have the sender’s first and last name, complete address, inmate #, and pod location on the envelope. No nicknames will be accepted.
