Facility Mailing and Service Information
Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) general-mail rules apply.
For non-minimum-security institutions, BOP announced that general correspondence is photocopied for delivery. Incoming general mail must be on plain white paper in a white envelope. Glitter, stickers, lipstick, crayon, marker, address labels (except approved exceptions), perfume/cologne and suspiciously stained materials may cause rejection.
General correspondence is inspected for contraband and content that may threaten institutional security or order. Legal/special mail has separate handling protections.
Always include the inmate's committed name and BOP Register Number and confirm the inmate's current institution before mailing.

BOP treats ordinary photographs as general correspondence. At non-minimum-security institutions, photos may be color-copied for delivery under the current general-mail photocopy procedure.
Photos depicting nudity, sexually suggestive acts or material that threatens security/order may be rejected. Facility-specific photo quantity/size rules can vary, so confirm the current institution guidance before sending valuable originals.

BOP publication rules apply. Hardcover publications and newspapers must come from a publisher, book club or bookstore. At medium-, high- and administrative-security facilities, the same source restriction applies to softcover publications.
Packages from home generally require prior written approval and are limited to authorized categories such as release clothing or approved medical devices. Confirm the institution's current procedure before arranging a package.

Do not send inmate funds to the institution's inmate-mail address. BOP directs mailed inmate funds to its centralized processing system in Des Moines, Iowa, and also supports approved electronic transfer methods. Confirm current BOP deposit instructions before sending money.

The visitor must be approved on the inmate's visiting list. Confirm the inmate's current location and review the institution's current visiting regulations and schedule before traveling, because the Warden may modify or suspend visiting for operational or security reasons.
