Guidelines

NOTICE: The Maricopa County Jail System only accepts METERED POST CARDS for inmate correspondence! The postcards must be standard sized, as defined by the postal service.

The postcards MUST BE METERED they CANNOT HAVE A STAMP ON THEM. You will probably need to go to the post office to get the proper post card or contact the jail for more information.

The postcard must be written in blue or blank ink only. No other colors accepted.

Homemade Postcards are not accepted.

Inmates cannot receive letters.

Photographs up to 4X6 may be mailed, but the envelope must be clearly marked photographs, and the envelope may contain only five photographs. Further, the inmates name and booking number must be written on each photograph.

Legal Mail contained in envelopes is accepted. Subscribed publications are accepted, so long as they originate from the publisher.


There is a discrepancy in the mail policy. Two documents indicate that stamps on postcards are forbidden, however another document indicates stamps are OK. You may want to contact the jail if this issue is of importance to you.

TouchPay Kiosk System

The MCSO Website has an advertisement for the TouchPay Kiosk system, however clicking on the ad simply goes to a page listing all ads on the website.

No additional information on the system or its operation is provided, but based on other jails, it is probably an automated machine similar to a grocery self check out where you may deposit money. It is probably located in the jail visitation area, and you will probably need the inmates booking number.

This is an educated guess only.
