The statewide correspondence details come from a 2022 handbook. A newer facility notice or DOC policy controls if it conflicts.

Common questions
How do I send a letter to an inmate in Vermont?
Confirm the person’s Vermont DOC number and current correctional facility, then use that facility’s mail address. Write online and PieterPost will format, print, add the envelope and postage, and mail your physical letter.
Which address should I use for Vermont inmate mail?
Vermont has no single statewide personal-mail address. Use VINE to confirm custody, then copy the current facility’s correspondence address rather than a visiting, money, or administrative address.
How do I find a Vermont DOC number and facility?
Use Vermont VINE custody search to confirm the current location and Vermont DOC number. Recheck after a transfer and verify the address on the current facility page.
Is there a letter limit and will the original be delivered?
The 2022 statewide handbook says residents may send and receive as many letters as they wish, but facility and current-policy restrictions still apply. Incoming mail may be photocopied, and the envelope is not delivered.
Does this guide apply to local or federal facilities?
No. This guide covers adults in Vermont DOC facilities. Local or federal custody, juvenile facilities, immigration detention, contract placements, and community corrections can use different rules.
