Common questions
How do I send a letter to an inmate in Connecticut?
Use Connecticut’s inmate information search to confirm the person’s inmate number and facility, then use the exact facility mailing address. Write online and PieterPost will format, print, add the envelope and postage, and mail your physical letter.
Which address should I use for Connecticut inmate mail?
There is no universal Connecticut state-prison mail address. Address the letter to the person’s current correctional facility using the mailing address on the official facility page, not a central-office or visiting address.
How do I find the inmate number and Connecticut facility?
Search the Connecticut inmate information service to confirm the person’s inmate number and current location. Match that location to the official correctional-facilities directory before mailing.
Is there a limit on Connecticut prison letters?
Connecticut generally does not limit the number of letters a person may receive unless a disciplinary or security restriction applies. Property limits can still affect a large mailing, so check before sending an unusually long letter.
Does this guide apply to local or federal facilities in Connecticut?
No. This guide covers adults in Connecticut DOC facilities. Federal prisons, juvenile facilities, immigration detention, and other local or contract settings can have separate addresses and content rules.
