Mail and Photos to Aroostook County Jail

The Mailing Address

Send mail to:

[Full Legal Name]
Aroostook County Jail
15 Broadway
Houlton, ME 04730

This address is confirmed directly from the Aroostook County Government website, which describes the jail as located on the corner of Military and Broadway Streets in Houlton. Call (207) 532-7317 to ask whether the jail wants a booking or inmate identification number included alongside the name, since we could not confirm an exact required format from an official source.

Always Include a Return Address

Write a return address on every envelope. Mail without one is more likely to be rejected outright at most correctional facilities, and it’s the only way the jail can send something back to you if it’s not accepted.

What We Could Confirm, and What We Couldn’t

Aroostook County’s official website doesn’t publish a mail and photos policy page the way some Maine county jails do. We’re not going to guess at size limits, content restrictions, or a list of banned items, since getting those wrong could mean a rejected letter or a photo that never reaches someone waiting to see it. Instead, call (207) 532-7317 and ask directly:

• What are the current photo size and content rules?
• Are packages or care packages accepted in any form?
• Is there a limit on how many pages or photos can go in one envelope?
• Are there restrictions on the type of paper, envelope, or ink used?

Legal Mail

Legal mail, meaning correspondence from an attorney, is typically handled separately from personal mail at correctional facilities, often opened only in the detainee’s presence to protect attorney-client privilege. We could not confirm Aroostook County’s specific legal mail procedure from an official source. If you’re an attorney or sending something time-sensitive on a detainee’s behalf, call (207) 532-7317 before mailing anything.

Never Mail Cash

Never mail cash to a detainee at Aroostook County Jail. See the send money guide for what we could confirm about funding an account instead.

Confirm Before You Send Anything

Because several mail details weren’t confirmable from an official Aroostook County source, and because the jail’s own 2025 Needs Assessment Report describes an overcrowded building where detainees are sometimes moved, call (207) 532-7317 before sending anything you’d be upset to have rejected, delayed, or sent to the wrong place. It’s also worth confirming the detainee is still at Aroostook County Jail using the inmate search guide first.
