Mailing Correspondence to a Prisoner:

• Inmates may receive mail that has been sent through the U.S. Post Office.
• Letters must have the sender’s full name and complete return address:
  Tooele County Detention Center
  Inmate’s Full Name
  1960 South Main
  Tooele, UT  84074
• Please do not write on the envelope cover flap, including the glue line.
• Padded (foam, plastic bubble, etc.), stiff thick paper, and card board mailers are not allowed into the inmate housing area.
• Please refrain from using return address labels and destination address labels as they are stickers that could potentially cause the mail to be denied.  The name and return address must be legible.  If we cannot read the name and the address the envelope will be returned to the sender. The postal service may not be able to read it either resulting in dead mail.
• Tooele County Detention Center accepts completely filled out money orders (must be signed if line provided), official checks and cashier’s checks for adding fund to an inmate’s account.
• Because inmates’ personal correspondence provides a means of introducing contraband into the facility and conspiring to jeopardize security, safety, order and other legitimate Tooele County Detention Center interest, such mail must be opened and inspected.
• Books are available through the Jail Library.  Should you want to send a specific book to an inmate, it must be directly mailed from a bookstore, publisher or retail outlet.  Nothing can be written in or added to the book.
• No hardback books are accepted.
• Once the inmate is released or transferred to another facility, the book becomes part of the Tooele County Detention Center Library.
• Tooele County Detention Center does not forward mail.  Mail for inmates no longer incarcerated at Tooele County Detention Center will be returned to the sender.
