The March 2025 Delaware guide routes non-legal mail for BWCI, HRYCI, JTVCC, and SCI through Pigeonly in Las Vegas. Select the person’s prison so the envelope uses its exact facility code.
Community corrections centers can use different direct-mail instructions.

Helpful inmate-mail rules
- Letter length
- No total page limit is published; each page must be no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches, so check before an unusually long letter
- Letter format
- Use scan-ready paper no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches, with no staples or items attached by glue or tape
- Envelope and address
- Use the full name, SBI number, correct facility code, mandatory return address, and an envelope no larger than 4 by 9.5 inches
- How it arrives
- Pigeonly scans accepted mail in color; the prison delivers a printed reproduction rather than the original
Items that need another approved route
PieterPost is for ordinary written letters. To help avoid a mailroom rejection, do not add these items to the envelope:

- Legal-size, bubble, hard, oversized, or signature-required envelopes
- Electronic, musical, pop-up, layered, or oversized greeting cards
- Polaroids or photographs smaller than 4 by 6 inches
PieterPost takes care of the rest
You only need to write your message
No printer, paper, envelope, stamp, or trip to the post office. We prepare and mail the physical letter for you.
- Write your letter online from any device
- Check the finished letter before paying
- We format and print it for the facility
- We address, stamp, and mail the envelope

Common questions
How do I send a letter to an inmate in Delaware?
Confirm the person’s SBI number and prison, then select the matching Delaware DOC facility-code address for Pigeonly. Write online and PieterPost will format, print, add the envelope and postage, and mail the physical letter.
Which Delaware personal-mail address should I use?
Use the Pigeonly block for BWCI, HRYCI, JTVCC, or SCI. Each uses P.O. Box 96777 in Las Vegas but has a different Delaware DOC facility code, so do not combine address lines from different blocks.
How do I find the SBI number and Delaware prison?
Use Delaware’s inmate locator to confirm the person’s current location and SBI number. The current prison determines whether the facility code is 1200, 1202, 1101, or 1201.
Will the recipient get my original Delaware letter?
Pigeonly scans accepted non-legal mail in color and sends a printed reproduction to the prison. The incarcerated person receives that copy, not your original, so do not mail irreplaceable pages.
Does this guide apply to every Delaware correctional facility?
No. The March 2025 guide covers BWCI, HRYCI, JTVCC, and SCI. Community corrections, federal facilities, juvenile custody, and other local settings can use different direct-mail rules.
