Inmate Mail

Effective 08/01/2009 incoming correspondence, other than mail from the courts or government officials, will be received in post card format only. Any letters or cards received in envelopes from sources other than those stated above will no longer be accepted, due to security concerns, and will be returned to sender unopened.

Outgoing inmate mail procedures have not changed.

Inmate Pictures

Pictures will no longer be accepted without prior approval. Inmates who have been incarcerated in the Desoto County Jail longer than 1 (one) month, may request to have up to 5 (five) pictures sent in.  It is the inmate's responsibility to notify the sender of the approval and what is accepted.

The envelope is to be addressed in the same manner as above but labeled "Photo's Enclosed."  If anything other than photographs are sent in, the entire contents including the photographs will be returned to sender.
