Send elsewhere — not the Dallas digital center

• Red Rock Correctional Center (RRCC) → Red Rock Correctional Center (facility address)

  Digital mail does not cover RRCC. Mail correspondence to the facility. ViaPath messaging is available for RRCC.

• Legal mail → Inmate’s facility

  Legal and privileged mail (medical/financial) must not go to Dallas. It is opened at the facility under ODOC legal-mail rules.

• Documents requiring inmate signature → Inmate’s facility

  Forms that need a signature or notarization are not processed through the digital mail center.

• Business correspondence → Inmate’s facility

  Mail from organizations, businesses, or agencies goes to the facility — not Dallas.

• Books, magazines, newspapers → Inmate’s facility (publisher or verifiable vendor only)

  Publications must come directly from the publisher or a verifiable vendor per OP-030117. Do not send clippings — scan and print on 8½″ × 11″ paper inside a Dallas mailing instead.

• Packages → Inmate’s facility

  Packages sent to Dallas are returned to sender.

• Trust fund deposits (authorized exceptions) → ODOC Offender Banking — PO Box 11400, Oklahoma City, OK 73136-0400

  Inheritance, royalties, government/tribal payments, and other authorized funds per OP-120230. Routine family deposits normally go through JPay — do not enclose cash or personal checks with correspondence.

Format & content rules

• Scanable at Dallas: written correspondence, greeting cards, drawings, and photos. Printed PDF letter pages fit the “written correspondence” category.
• Size: items smaller than 4″ × 6″ or larger than 8½″ × 14″ are not accepted. Very small items should be scanned and printed on 8½″ × 11″ paper before mailing.
• Not accepted for scanning: legal or privileged mail, newspaper/magazine clippings (print copies instead), Post-it notes, items with tape or adhesives, staples or paperclips, die-cut greeting cards, glitter/sparkles, or certified mail (returned to sender).
• Avoid felt-tip pens, markers, Sharpies, and wax/oil-based mediums (e.g. crayons) — they bleed through and scan poorly. If you must use them, write on one side only and avoid drawing on the back.
• Trim torn fringe (“chads”) from spiral-bound notebook paper before mailing to avoid scanner jams.
• Mail is scanned in color and delivered to the inmate’s Securus account at no charge. Digitized mail stays accessible for the entire incarceration.
• Inmates without tablet or kiosk access use a community tablet or receive free black-and-white printed copies. Paid physical copies are available from trust funds (25¢ B&W page, $1 color photo page).
• Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want originals returned after scanning; otherwise physical mail is disposed of after about 90 days.
• All incoming non-privileged mail is subject to inspection and may be rejected under OP-030117 (content, security, contraband). Do not enclose cash, personal checks, or money orders with a PDF mailing.

Document mailing checklist

1. Confirm the person is in ODOC custody (not RRCC-only routing) and look up their ODOC number.
2. Verify RRCC inmates are excluded — if at Red Rock, mail to the facility instead of Dallas.
3. Print PDF pages on ordinary letter-size paper; avoid staples, tape, or glued items.
4. Address to the Securus Digital Mail Center with full name + ODOC number, then mail as personal correspondence.
