Addressing a letter to someone in custody doesn’t have to be complicated. The only goal is simple: make sure the prison can match the letter to the right person. With inlettia.com, you don’t need to deal with printing, envelopes, or postage—you just enter the details online, write your message, and inlettia handles the mailing.
The few details you need (that’s it)
To address a letter correctly, you typically only need:
- Prisoner’s full name (as the prison has it)
- Prisoner ID / inmate number (if you have it)
- Facility name (the prison/jail/detention centre)
That’s enough in most cases for mailrooms to route the letter correctly.

- Enter your details (sender)
- Enter the prisoner’s details (recipient)

Then inlettia prints, prepares the envelope, adds postage, and dispatches it via the postal network—so you don’t have to.
