Common questions

How do I send a letter to an Arizona inmate online?

Use the official ADCRR search to confirm the active record's full name, six-digit ADCRR number, prison complex, and assigned unit. Enter those details in PieterPost, write your message, and review the address. PieterPost prints, stamps, and mails the physical letter to the Dallas processing center.

Which address should I use for Arizona inmate mail?

Address general mail with the full first and last name and ADCRR number, followed by the prison complex and assigned unit, then P.O. Box 211309, Dallas, TX 75211. Do not send routine personal mail to the prison.

How do I find an Arizona inmate and ADCRR number?

Open the official ADCRR inmate data search from this page. Search by name or the six-digit ADCRR number, choose the active state-prison record, and confirm the current prison complex and assigned unit. The official search opens in a separate tab; return here when you have the details.

How long does Arizona inmate mail take?

ADCRR says the processor takes reasonable steps to make approved mail available within three business days after it arrives. The recipient views the color scan on a secure tablet or kiosk. A black-and-white copy can be provided when electronic access is unavailable.

What can I send through Arizona's digital mail center?

Written correspondence, greeting cards, drawings, and photos can use the Dallas digital route. Legal mail, packages, publications, official government mail, and documents that need a signature or notary use different current ADCRR procedures. PieterPost is for ordinary personal letters.

Will an Arizona inmate receive my original letter?

No. The processor stores the scanned physical original for 90 days and then disposes of it. ADCRR says to include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want an eligible original returned. Do not send irreplaceable originals.

Can I include an ADCRR inmate search result in the letter?

No. ADCRR warns that incarcerated people may not receive copied inmate-search records. Use the locator only to confirm the recipient's mailing details, and do not include the record or search-result page in your letter.

Does this guide cover Arizona jails and federal prisons?

No. This page is for adults in ADCRR state-prison custody. Arizona county or city jails, federal prisons, juvenile facilities, and other detention systems may use different mail processors and rules.
