How to Send Mail to Someone at the Bonifay Jail

Mailing Address Format

Address every letter using this format:

[Sender's Name and Address]
[Inmate's Name]
3207 Lonny Lindsey Drive
Bonifay, Florida 32425

Always write your own name and return address on the envelope. If the letter is rejected for any reason, the jail needs a way to send it back instead of discarding it.

What’s Accepted

Routine, personal letters and family photographs are generally accepted. Legal paperwork sent directly from an attorney is also accepted and handled separately from personal mail.

What’s Rejected

The jail rejects mail that:

• Is deemed a threat to the facility, staff, or other inmates
• Contains sexual content
• Encourages violence
• Includes instructions for making any item of contraband

No food, medicine, greeting cards, pens, pencils, markers, stickers, packages, or cash will be accepted through the mail, regardless of the sender.

Photo Rules

Photos are accepted only if they meet all of the following:

• Not sexual in nature
• No gang references or symbols
• No depiction of guns, drugs, or drug paraphernalia

Photos that don’t meet these standards are rejected along with the rest of the mail piece they arrived in.

Why Mail Gets Searched and Sometimes Delayed

For security, all inmate mail is searched by jail staff upon receipt. This screening step is why mail can take longer to reach an inmate than a typical piece of personal mail. If you don’t get confirmation a letter arrived, that delay is often the reason, though you can always call 850-547-3681, Option 2, if you’re concerned about something that hasn’t arrived after a reasonable amount of time.

Sending Something Beyond a Standard Letter

Because packages aren’t accepted through the mail at all, don’t attempt to send books, commissary items, or anything beyond letters and approved photographs directly to the jail. If you want to provide funds for an inmate to purchase items through commissary instead, use jailatm.com or the jail’s kiosk.
