Inmate’s Full Name

- Cache County Jail recommends using 8 & 1/2”x 11” white lined writing paper and white envelopes #10, 4 & 1/8” by 9 & 1/2”. Please do not use smaller envelopes as they tend to get caught in the postal service machinery more often and the postmark overwrite the return address and makes it not legible. Dark pencil, black or blue ballpoint pen, typed, or computer printed is acceptable for communicating with the inmates.
- Please do not write on the envelope cover flap, including the glue line. These are cut off along with the postage stamps and discarded.
- Padded (foam, plastic bubble, etc.), stiff thick paper, and card board mailers are not allowed into the inmate housing area.
- Please refrain from using return address labels and destination address labels as they are stickers that could potentially cause the mail to be denied. The name and return address must be legible. If we cannot read the name and the address the envelope will be returned to the sender. The postal service may not be able to read it either resulting in dead mail.
- Information may be printed and sent in from public domain internet sites. The pages should show the internet site it was printed from. Please keep in mind CCJ content and quantity restrictions below.
- Cache County Jail accepts completely filled out money orders (must be signed if line provided), official checks and cashier’s checks for adding funds to an inmate account.
