Common questions
How do I send a letter to an inmate in New Jersey?
Confirm the SBI number and current NJDOC facility, add its four-digit code to the Pigeonly address, and send ordinary mail to Las Vegas. PieterPost formats and prints your online letter, adds the envelope and postage, and mails it.
Which address should I use for New Jersey inmate mail?
As verified July 28, 2026, use P.O. Box 96777, Las Vegas, NV 89193 with the full name, SBI number, complete facility name, and correct four-digit code. Do not send ordinary correspondence directly to the prison.
How do I find the SBI number and NJDOC facility code?
Use the NJDOC offender search to confirm the person’s SBI number and facility. Match the facility to the published code list, such as 1400 for New Jersey State Prison or 1402 for South Woods State Prison.
Will the recipient get my original New Jersey letter?
Pigeonly scans approved correspondence for NJDOC delivery. The original is not normally handed over and is retained for 45 days before destruction; use the current recovery process within that period for an eligible original.
Does this guide apply to New Jersey jails or federal prisons?
No. This guide covers adults in NJDOC state prisons. County jails, federal facilities, juvenile custody, immigration detention, and other settings can use different routes.
