Sending a Mail/Care Package

Since inmates are usually not located at this facility for longer than a couple of days, sending mail is not recommended.

That said, you can still send mail to an inmate, just recognize that it might not make it to them before their transfer. If you send mail, send it to:

Inmate's First and Last Name - booking #
7th & Grant 600 Lincoln Avenue, Charleston, IL, 61920

Mail will be opened and screened before delivery, and do not send any contraband.

Sending Money

Sending money is also challenging given the short time that inmates stay at this facility. Call the Charleston City Jail at 217-581-3213 to ask about sending money to an inmate.
