Key facts
- Send mail to Maine Correctional Center, 813 Cushing Road, Warren, ME 04864 — the institution's inmate-mail address, not its street address.
- Maine routes first-class personal mail to the facility’s address on Cushing Road in Warren (a shared mail-processing location), even when the resident is housed at a facility in another town. Address it to the resident’s full name and MDOC number, then the facility name and its Cushing Road, Warren, ME 04864 address.
- Letters, notes, and greeting cards must be on plain white paper, written or printed in black or blue ink only (pencil must be black). Coloured paper, coloured ink, and heavy shading are rejected.
- No foreign substance on the paper or envelope — no perfume, stickers, tape, glitter, glue, crayon, marker, coloured pencil, lipstick, or stains. Only the postage and a single return-address label may be affixed.
- Every envelope must show a verifiable sender name and return address. Send only through the U.S. Postal Service. Mail is opened and inspected at the facility (it is not routinely photocopied or digitized).
- Packages, newspapers, magazines, and legal mail go to the facility’s physical/street address instead — not the Cushing Road first-class address.
- 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.
