Mail & Photos to Greenwood County Detention Center

Confirm the Right Address First

The Detention Center’s physical address is 528 Edgefield Street, Greenwood, SC 29646. Some county jails route personal letters through a separate third-party mail-scanning address while sending money orders, legal mail, and packages to the physical address instead. Greenwood County’s official site doesn’t specify whether this applies here, so call (864) 943-8059 before addressing an envelope, especially for your first letter.

What to Ask About Photos

Photo policies, including how many can be included per letter and any restrictions on content, aren’t published for this facility. Ask when you call to confirm the mailing address.

What to Ask About Books, Magazines, and Packages

Rules on whether books and magazines need to come from an approved vendor, and whether packages are accepted at all, aren’t published. Many county jails restrict packages entirely or route them through an approved vendor. Ask specifically about both before attempting to send either.

What’s Never Allowed

Regardless of Greenwood County’s specific rules, some restrictions are universal at nearly every correctional facility: never mail cash directly to an inmate, and never include anything that could be mistaken for a prohibited substance or contraband. Doing so risks the mail being rejected or destroyed and can create legal exposure for the sender.

If You’re Sending Mail for the First Time

Call (864) 943-8059 before you send anything. Confirm the correct address for personal letters versus money orders or legal mail, ask about photo and package policies, and get the inmate’s full legal name exactly as it should appear on the envelope.
