Inmates may receive only metered, unstamped, plain white postcards no larger than 6" x 8" as mail. Writing must be in pencil or blue or black ink. Any other mail will be returned to the sender. If no return address is available, unauthorized mail will be stored in the inmate's locker until the inmate's release. No photos allowed.

Inmate mail cannot contain any of the following: Create an immediate threat to jail order by describing the manufacture of weapons, bombs, incendiary devices, or tools for escape that realistically are a danger to jail security; Advocate violence or insurrection; Promote or espouse racial supremacy or ethnic purity; provide detailed instruction in any fighting arts.
