Before you make your purchase, we require that you contact the prison first to confirm that they accept deliveries and to ask about any special policies they have. We are not responsible for what YOU order!

It is of the utmost importance that you are absolutely certain of the facility’s rules and regulations regarding incoming mail before creating your order to ensure your recipient receives their items. Please note, packages that are returned to sender, refused, or rejected by facilities cannot be reshipped to the same location.

Important Things to Consider Before Placing Your Order:

Find the facility’s website or direct phone number for detailed information regarding allowable material to be sent. It is not uncommon for facilities to have strict rules regarding subject matter, the type of binding, the condition (new vs. used), and/or the number of items permitted to be sent. With that said, please use the below information as a guide:

Magazines, newspapers and paperback books if mailed directly from a publisher, book club or bookstore are generally acceptable.

Any mail (including magazines, books and articles) that has the following characteristics may be considered contraband.

Sexually explicit photos, publications, drawings or writings, and mail containing information concerning where, how, or from whom such matter may beobtained. Sex-based publications that depict frontal nudity or penetration are prohibited (e.g., Penthouse, Hustler, etc.).

Personal photographs that contain nudity, partial nudity, are overtly sexual or sexually suggestive. Persons must be clothed in a manner that would be generally accepted in the community as a whole. Any intent to show nudity, including, but not limited to the following, will be returned as unacceptable:
