Q
Why does the TextBehind address go to Phoenix, MD instead of Fayetteville?
TextBehind is a mail scanning service. Your letters and photos are mailed to TextBehind's processing facility in Maryland, where they are scanned and forwarded digitally to the detention center. This speeds up delivery and allows for more thorough inspection without staff handling physical mail at the jail.

Q
What is the difference between the GettingOut.com ID and the Booking ID?
The Booking ID comes from the CCSO inmate roster and is assigned by Cumberland County. The GettingOut.com ID is a separate number assigned by the GTL system and is what TextBehind uses to route your mail. They are different numbers. Look up the GettingOut.com ID at GettingOut.com after you locate the person on the CCSO roster.
