Inmate Mail

Incoming mail is delivered to inmates Monday through Friday.

Inmate mail will not be accepted from any person who has been incarcerated in the Delaware County Jail within the previous six months.

All incoming mail is opened and searched for contraband (such as money, checks, inappropriate photos, matches, lighters, cigarettes, jewelry, chewing gum, etc.).

Mail sent by privileged correspondence such as the inmates attorney, a judge, the governor of Iowa, the citizen's aid office and any member

of the state or federal legislature may be opened by staff only in the presence of the inmate addressee for the purpose of detecting contraband and may not be read by staff.

Inmates may receive letters and cards.

Do not send cash or personal checks through the mail. Money in any form is contraband and will not be delivered to the inmate.

All monies received in this matter will be posted to the inmates account.

Unauthorized items mailed to an inmate will be placed in the property room or disposed of as appropriate.

Inmates will receive items not disposed of upon their release.

Inmate mail must be addressed as follows and should reflect the appropriate mailing address for the facility:
