Inmate Communication

New Policy Regarding Parcels and Books

To eliminate parcels as a method of introducing drugs into the facility, starting Tuesday, September 20, 2022, the Jail will no longer be accepting any parcels addressed to inmates, including those from external businesses. All parcels will be returned to the sender. 

The facility will expand the selections made available on the e-library. The facility will also continue to make paper books available on the book carts. 

To make a recommendation for the e-library, inmates can submit a request. If an e-book is a non-fiction religious, political, philosophical, or educational book, and does not present a security/safety risk to the facility, the jail will purchase the e-book based on the inmate’s recommendation. The facility will not deny e-books based on speech content.

Digital Mail

If you are a verified attorney or professional visitor you may dial 970-498-5200 option #6 to access a free and non-recorded line to speak with your client.
