Sending a Mail/Care Package

Start by reviewing the Inmate Mail Guide, as a lot of basics on sending mail and packages are included in the FAQs there.

Inmates at the Essex County Jail can receive letters, post cards, and small photographs that are not sexual in nature. You can also arrange to have soft cover books and magazines delivered to inmates directly from the publisher. Correspondence should be sent to:

Inmate’s name

Booking number

Essex County Jail

304 Prince Street PO Box 955, Tappahannock, VA, 22560

All personal mail is subject to inspection and will likely be read before being delivered to inmates.

Sending Money

You can send money in the mail or online. Make any cashier’s checks or money orders payable to the inmate. The inmate’s account will be credited. While you can send cash, it is not recommended. Do not send money in denominations greater than $100 per day.

Inmates place orders at the Essex County Jail commissary weekly. Deposit money in an inmate’s account by Monday evening if they need to use it that week.

You can also upload money online. Inmates can use this money in their commissary accounts or to make phone calls.

Inmates at the Essex County Jail can use a prepaid calling card to make outgoing calls or they can make collect calls at the expense of the recipient. These calls are monitored unless the call is to the inmate’s attorney. Phone calls with attorneys are free and unmonitored.

Visitation

Video visitation is encouraged, and is considered helpful to the mental state of inmates. To set up a visit, set up an account .
