Shipping to Correctional Facilities

Store / Shipping to Correctional Facilities

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:

Any photo that displays an exposed female breast. This includes photos that have been altered to obscure or conceal the areola (e.g., strategically placed stickers, digitally altered, etc.). Undergarments must be worn beneath clothing that is sheer/translucent, lace, mesh, etc.

Any photo that displays the genitalia of either gender (including those wearing clothing that by design or by the manner in which it is worn, allows the anatomical detail of genitalia to be clearly viewed).

Nude photographs of anyone under 18 years old (including infants).

Any gang-related pictures, writings, or drawings.

Any matter of a character tending to incite murder, arson, riot, violent racism, or any other form of violence.

Any matter concerning gambling or a lottery.

Threatens blackmail and/or extortion.

Concerns the sending of contraband in or out of any facility.

Depicts, encourages or describes methods of escape from correctional facilities.

Information which would present a clear and present danger of violence and/or physical harm to persons in or outside of the facility.

Concerns plots or plans to disrupt the order of the facility and/or to breach the security of the facility.

Any material advocating criminal activity, violation of any criminal law, or violation of facility rules or regulations.

Contains coded messages which are not reasonably understood by the reader.

Depicts or describes procedures for the construction or use of weapons, ammunition, bombs, or incendiary devices.

Remember, If a publication contains an article or image considered to be objectionable and/or a threat to facility security, the publication will not be delivered and will either be returned to the publisher or placed into the inmate’s property.
