Key facts
- Send mail to Delta Correctional Center, 4102 Sawmill Mesa Road, Delta, CO 81416 — the institution's inmate-mail address, not its street address.
- Colorado sends mail to each facility directly. Address it to the incarcerated person’s full name and DOC number, then the facility’s own mailing address (a P.O. box for most, a street address for some).
- Include a valid return address. Mail without the DOC number or a return address can be rejected (governed by Administrative Regulation 300-38).
- Incoming mail is opened and inspected for contraband; generally only letters and photos are accepted — no packages or enclosed items.
- Confirm the person’s current facility on CDOC’s inmate locator before mailing — people are transferred without notice, and several Cañon City and Pueblo facilities share a mailroom, so the facility name on the envelope matters.
- PostPal prints and mails your letter for you the next business day for $5 — with your return address printed so the inmate can write back, and no printer, envelope, or stamp needed.
