Due to a recent change in inmate property laws, we have changed the policy on mailing books to inmates in the Vernon County Jail. As of September 1st we will no longer allow any books mailed to inmates from personal or book stores. We will be adding a book library to the jail as well as digital books are available on the inmate tablets. Any books received after that date will be returned to sender. Thank you for complying with the policy change.

Money orders will be accepted in a plain white envelope and all other items will be placed in inmate property. Materials of a sexual or violent nature are not permitted. Correspondence between inmates in other institutions requires pre-approval.
