Post here goes to a Binghamton box rather than to the jail's own street address, and the two are easy to confuse because the county publishes both. Send letters and photos in minutes.
Send letters and photos in minutes
Two things to get right here. The mailing address is not the street address, and a lot of post is lost to that one confusion. And for anything digital, Broome uses a service that prints letters and photographs on machines inside the jail’s own mailroom rather than scanning them onto a screen, which is a meaningfully different thing from what most New York counties do.
Write it like this:
[Full Legal Name]
Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility
P.O. Box 2047
Binghamton, NY 13902-2047
The jail itself sits at 155 Lt. VanWinkle Drive, Binghamton, NY 13905, in the Town of Dickinson. That address is real, it is published, and it is where you drive for a visit. It is not where post goes.
Both addresses appear on county material, which is exactly why this mistake is so common. The ZIP codes are different too, 13902 for the box and 13905 for the building, so a quick way to check an envelope is to look at the last digit.
Broome County names one electronic mail service on its own corrections page, and links it directly: PrintBudii, run by LIAM Safe, at a county-specific portal.
The published prices are 60 cents for a letter and a per-item price for photographs.
What makes it different from the systems most New York counties now use is worth understanding. In a scanning arrangement, your letter travels to a processing centre, gets opened and photographed, and your person reads it on a tablet screen while the paper is destroyed or stored elsewhere. PrintBudii does not do that. The vendor states its software delivers mail directly inside correctional facilities, with no scanning, photocopying or third party handling step, printing on commercial printers in the mailroom itself.
In practice that means:
So your person ends up holding paper, which is the thing most families want.
What Pigeonly does alongside it. Pigeonly lets you write a letter or choose photos on your phone, and we print and post them to this jail under its own rules. No printer, no envelopes, no stamps, and nothing to remember about which box the mail goes to. It travels by post like any other letter, which is the honest description: we are not printing inside the building the way the county’s own service does.
Broome publishes the mailing address and the online service, but not a postal rulebook covering prohibited items, photo limits, books and publications, legal or certified mail, or how rejected mail is handled.
Before sending anything unusual, particularly books, publications, or anything with an enclosure, call the jail inquiries route on 607-778-1911, option 2.
It has its own routes entirely, through Access Corrections for commissary and through a separate payment system for bail. Neither is a thing you post.
Broome’s official app bundles sending mail and photos into the same place as inmate status, bail and commissary. It is genuinely official, published for the Sheriff’s Office by an outside vendor since July 2023.
It is not required. The online mail route exists on the web independently of it, and post works without either.
An older county web address still serves a 2023 copy of the corrections page, and it names entirely different vendors for photos and letters than the ones above. If a page you land on points at a photo service other than the one the county names today, you are reading the stale copy.

The person's full legal name, Broome County Sheriff's Correctional Facility, P.O. Box 2047, Binghamton, NY 13902-2047. The building on Lt. VanWinkle Drive carries a 13905 ZIP and is where you go for a visit, not where you send post. Both addresses are published, which is why the mistake is so common.
Mail & PhotosThat is the physical address of the jail, not its mailing address. The county publishes P.O. Box 2047 for inmate mail. Using the street address risks the letter going astray, and the quickest way to check an envelope is the ZIP: 13902 is the box, 13905 is the building.
Mail & PhotosThe electronic letter and photo service Broome County names and links on its own corrections page, run by LIAM Safe through a county-specific portal. A letter costs 60 cents. Unlike a scanning service, it prints inside the facility mailroom, so your person receives actual paper rather than an image on a tablet.
Mail & PhotosYes. The vendor prints four by six photographs on commercial printers inside the facility mailroom and delivers them the same day, with each item marked with the person's name and facility identification number. There is no scanning step in between.
Mail & PhotosBroome County does not publish a list. We checked the corrections page, the full site navigation, the sitemaps and a site-scoped search, and no prohibited items policy exists on the county domain. Aggregator sites publish lists confidently, but none of them is sourced from Broome County. For anything unusual, ask on 607-778-1911, option 2.
Mail & PhotosThe county publishes no books and publications policy, so we cannot tell you the rule. Most jails require publications to come direct from a publisher, but that is a general pattern rather than a Broome County fact, and we are not going to present it as one. Call jail inquiries before ordering anything.
Mail & PhotosThe county does not say. What it does say is that its named electronic service prints inside the facility rather than scanning, and no scanning vendor contract appears in county records. That is suggestive but not a published policy for ordinary post, so we are flagging it rather than stating it.
Mail & PhotosNo. Money has its own routes at this jail, through Access Corrections for commissary and a separate payment system for bail, and neither involves posting anything. Sending cash or a money order to the mail box is not a route the county offers.
Mail & PhotosMoney cannot travel in an envelope. Here is where it goes.
