Mid-State Mailing Address

Where Letters Go

Letters for Mid-State are not mailed to Fort Dix. NJDOC routes general mail through Pigeonly Corrections:

[Full Name] - [SBI Number]
Mid-State Correctional Facility - 1404
PO Box 96777
Las Vegas, NV 89193

1404 is Mid-State’s facility code, which keeps it separate from the federal prison on the same base. Include your name and return address.

Scanned, Then Printed

Each letter is scanned in color, printed and sent on to the prison. NJDOC keeps the original 45 days and then destroys it, so do not mail anything you need back.

Sizes and Photos

• Envelopes no larger than 4 x 9½ inches, paper up to 8½ x 11.
• Greeting cards and postcards up to 5 x 7.
• 4 x 6 photos, 10 per envelope at most.

Not accepted: glitter, rhinestones, stickers or anything glued on; wax paper; photos cut into shapes; sticky notes; Express, Priority or bubble envelopes; newspaper clippings; bulk mail; money; Polaroids and photos printed by third-party photo vendors such as Shutterfly; official documents, and anything you do not want destroyed. If one item breaks the rules, the whole envelope is rejected.

Packages, Books and Legal Mail

These go to NJDOC’s Centralized Search and Sorting Center (CSSC) in Crosswicks, not to Fort Dix:

[Full Name] - [SBI Number]
CSSC
55 Hogback Rd
Crosswicks, NJ 08515

Legal mail is marked “Confidential” with the law office’s return address. Packages come from an approved source, publications directly from the publisher or vendor.

Getting Code 1404 Mail Moving Sooner

Mid-State’s code 1404 keeps its letters apart from the federal prison on the base, but each one still travels to Las Vegas first, a 3 to 5 business day trip by post before scanning starts. Pigeonly sends your letters and photos from your phone and skips that leg, within the same limit of 10 photos at 4 x 6.
