What address to use when sending books to inmates

When sending books to your husband, you must use his facility address, not your home address.

Here is how to do it correctly:

• Enter your husband’s name and inmate ID number
• Use the prison’s mailing address as the shipping address
• Your name and billing address stay tied to your payment method

Important rules to follow:

• Books must come directly from a publisher or retailer like Amazon
• Do not send books yourself. They will be rejected
• Choose new books, not used or third-party seller items
• Most facilities prefer paperbacks and limit how many you can send

Shipping notes:

• The package will show:
  • The retailer as the sender
  • The prison as the destination
• You cannot add personal notes or special labels inside

Extra tip:
Call the facility before ordering to confirm:

• Paperback vs hardcover rules
• Quantity limits
• Any specific restrictions

Bottom line:
Always ship
