FCI Ray Brook Mailing Address

The Address

[Full Name], [Register Number]
FCI Ray Brook
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 900
Ray Brook, NY 12977

The register number goes on every envelope. It is how the mailroom matches a letter to a person, and a letter without it may come back. The street address, 128 Ray Brook Road, is not for letters.

Not the State Prison

Adirondack Correctional Facility, a short way along Ray Brook Road, is a New York State prison with its own box, P.O. Box 110. Someone at FCI Ray Brook is in federal custody, with a register number, and their letters go to P.O. Box 900. If you only have a DIN, the person is in the state system.

Not for Money or Parcels

• Money goes to the Bureau’s lockbox in Des Moines, Iowa. The Bureau tells families not to send money using the facility’s address.
• Freight and non-USPS parcels go to the warehouse at 128 Ray Brook Road, addressed to a staff member. That address is for official shipments, not family packages.

Mail Comes Through on Weekdays

The Ray Brook handbook says first-class mail is handed out Monday to Friday, not on holidays. There is no set limit on the number of letters a person can receive, as long as the volume does not become a burden on the mailroom.

Books and Magazines

Publications must come from the publisher, a bookstore or a book club. The handbook also limits a person to ten magazines, none more than three months old.

Legal Mail

Mail from an attorney, a court or a government official counts as special mail when it is properly marked and shows the sender’s name and title. Ordinary letters marked that way are treated as ordinary letters.

While Visits Are Suspended

With the visiting room closed, mail is the one way to put something in a person’s hands. CorrLinks email is text only. Pigeonly prints photos and letters from your phone and posts them to P.O. Box 900, with the register number already in place.
