Common questions
How do I send a letter to an inmate in Maine?
Confirm the resident’s MDOC number and current facility, then select that facility’s first-class general-correspondence block. Write online and PieterPost will format, print, add the envelope and postage, and mail your physical letter.
Which Maine prison mail address should I use?
Use the listed first-class address for the resident’s current facility. Several facilities route general letters through Cushing Road in Warren, and that address can differ from the one used for legal mail, packages, or publications.
How do I find a Maine MDOC number and facility?
Use Maine’s adult resident search to confirm the MDOC number and current location. Then select the matching first-class address, including the center name exactly as MDOC lists it.
What paper and page rules apply to Maine letters?
All adult general correspondence must use 8.5 by 11-inch white paper with black or dark blue ink. MDOC publishes no universal page cap, so check the facility before sending an unusually long letter.
Does this guide apply to Maine jails or federal prisons?
No. This guide covers adults in Maine MDOC state facilities. County or city jails, federal custody, juvenile facilities, immigration detention, and contract programs can use different routes.
