Sending Mail to Stark County Jail

Mailing Address

Use this exact format for all inmate mail:

[Inmate Full Legal Name, Inmate ID Number]
Stark County Jail
4500 Atlantic Blvd NE
Canton, OH 44705

Write the inmate’s full legal name and ID number clearly. Mail missing this information may be returned.

Letters and Cards

Standard letters and cards on plain paper in a standard envelope are accepted. Avoid envelopes with unusual coatings, padded liners, or metallic elements. Content that includes threats, describes illegal activity, or could compromise jail security may result in rejection and possible disciplinary action for the inmate.

Money Orders by Mail

Money orders may be mailed to the facility. Write the inmate’s full legal name and ID number in the memo section. Do not mail cash.

Call (330) 430-3850 to confirm current money order procedures before mailing. For faster deposits, use GTL/ConnectNetwork at connectnetwork.com (for phone) or Keefe at StarkPackages.com (for commissary).

Photos

Current photo policies are not published on the official website. Call (330) 430-3850 before mailing photos to confirm:

• Whether photos are currently accepted
• Maximum number per envelope
• Accepted print size
• Content restrictions (no explicit images, no gang symbols)
• Format requirements (no Polaroids, no laminated images)

Books and Magazines

Call (330) 430-3850 to confirm whether books and magazines are accepted and whether they must come from an approved publisher or retailer directly.

Commissary Orders

For approved goods beyond letters, use the Keefe Commissary program at StarkPackages.com. Orders ship directly to the facility and go through inspection before delivery. Do not mail packages or personal items from home.

Legal Mail

Mail from attorneys, courts, and government agencies is treated as privileged legal mail. It is opened only in the inmate’s presence to check for contraband, then delivered sealed. Mark the envelope “Legal Mail” and include the attorney’s bar number or firm letterhead.
