Attorney & Court Correspondence

Legal mail is handled separately from general mail and is delivered directly to the inmate. It is not processed through the digital mail system.

Sending Books to Inmates

Books and publications must be sent directly from a publisher, bookstore, or approved retailer (such as Amazon). Books sent from individuals will not be accepted.

Inmates may receive pre-approved legal, educational, or religious publications such as paper or paperback printed materials by not-for-profit charitable organizations sent directly from the organization and new, and unused non-fiction paperback books mailed directly from a seller or distributor of such books.

• • Softcover books only (no hardcover)
• • No sexually explicit or violent content
• • Must be new (no used books)

Rejection of Books and Publications

The jail will notify both the inmate and the sender of any mail the jail rejects. The sender of any rejected publication may appeal the jail's decision by sending written notice to the jail stating the grounds for the appeal. Such appeals must be received within fifteen (15) days after the jail mailing of a rejection notice. Within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the appeal, the Sheriff or their designee will provide the sender a written determination, including the basis for the Sheriff's determination and identifying the appeal's decision maker, who must be someone other than the person who originally refused to deliver the publication at issue.

Sending Money by Mail

You can mail funds to an inmate's commissary account using a money order or certified check. Accepted money orders include U.S. Postal, Safeway, King Soopers, and International Postal. Personal checks and cash are not accepted.
