Mail Rules for Old Colony Correctional Center

Mailing Address

Address letters to:

[Person’s Full Legal Name] [DOC Commitment Number] Old Colony Correctional Center One Administration Road Bridgewater, MA 02324

The commitment number matters as much as the name. Without it, mail processing can be delayed while staff confirm who it’s for.

What to Confirm Before Sending

Massachusetts DOC regulations cover what can come through the mail, and the specifics (photo limits, page counts, package rules) are set and updated by the department. To avoid guessing at numbers that could be outdated, call Old Colony directly at (508) 279-6000 before sending anything beyond a standard letter, especially photos, books, or packages.

General Practice

Include your return address on every piece of mail. All incoming mail is opened and inspected before it reaches the person it’s addressed to, which can add a few days to delivery time.

Send Photos and Letters with Pigeonly

The easiest way to send photos and letters to someone at Old Colony Correctional Center is through Pigeonly. Upload your photos or write your letter online, and Pigeonly prints and mails everything to the facility for you, following the mail rules listed above.
