Property:
Detainees are not allowed to keep personal property in the cell blocks. Street clothes and other items are taken at the time of booking and secured pending the detainee's release. The detainee may release their personal property to a family member. We must have a signed property release form on file before releasing any property. The detainee may request this form from any Correctional Officer.
Mail:
Detainees may be sent personal and legal mail. All mail will be opened in the presence of the detainee. Any contraband found at that time will be seized by the property officer. Photos may be sent to a detainee, but any pictures of a graphic or 'adult' subject will be confiscated.
Magazines, books and newspapers may be sent from the publisher or a book dealer only. Individuals may not send books directly to a detainee.
Money sent to a detainee must be in the form of a money order or cashier's check. Personal checks and cash are not allowed. Cash may be deposited with the visiting officer.
Any illegal items sent through the mail will be reported to our Investigators. Illegal items may subject the detainee and the sender to additional criminal charges.
