Inmate Messaging

We encourage all visitors to create an account on NCIC.com to access communications services. By signing up for NCIC Instant Messaging, users can send documents, photos and mail to inmates electronically, which allows for expedited approval and release to the inmate. Letters are $0.25 per message, Picture Messages / Documents are $0.35 per picture. This is cheaper and more efficient than traditional postage.

If visitors still wish to write a physical letter, it must be addressed to the Mail Processing Center in Texas to be scanned and digitized. Inmates will receive an electronic copy. Beginning November 12, 2025, all incoming mail must be sent to the following address:
