Can I write a letter or send items to an inmate?

Letters mailed to inmates must contain the inmate’s full name as part of the address. The jail will not accept certain items through the mail. Restricted items include packages, obscene or pornographic materials, personal checks, cashier’s check, postage stamps or stamped envelopes, any type of food, or periodicals not directly sent from the publisher. All mail needs to be in black ink, or the mail could be denied and placed in the inmate’s property. Any cards will be copied, and the original will be placed in the inmate’s property. Mail should be addressed in the following manner:


INMATE’S NAME

Mills County Jail

600 Industrial Rd.

Glenwood, IA 51534
