Helpful inmate-mail rules
- Letter length
- No general statewide limit is published. Facility property and security rules can apply, so check before sending an unusually long letter.
- Paper format
- Use plain white paper and dark blue or black ink. Non-legal mail may be opened, inspected, and read.
- Envelope and address
- Include the full name, inmate number, current facility address, and your complete name and return address.
- How it arrives
- The current facility processes accepted mail. Public guidance does not identify a statewide off-site personal-mail center.

Common questions
How do I send a letter to someone in Hawaii state custody?
Confirm the inmate number, current facility, and its correspondence address first. Write online and PieterPost will format and print your letter, add the envelope and postage, and mail the physical letter.
Which address should I use for Hawaii inmate mail?
Use the mailing address published for the person's current Hawaii correctional facility, with their full name and inmate number. Do not use DCR headquarters as a substitute.
How do I find the inmate number and current Hawaii facility?
Use Hawaii's custody locator to confirm the inmate number and current location, then check the DCR correctional-facilities information for the address. Contracted mainland facilities may use different rules.
Is there a statewide page limit in Hawaii?
Hawaii's available guidance does not give one statewide correspondence-volume limit. Facility property and security rules still apply, so confirm before sending an unusually long letter.
Does this Hawaii guidance cover every local or federal facility?
No. This page covers adult state custody under Hawaii DCR. Federal facilities, juvenile custody, contract facilities, and community-corrections programs can have different addresses and requirements.
