Key facts

  • Send mail to USP Florence - High, PO Box 7000, Florence, CO 81226 — the institution's inmate-mail address, not its street address.
  • Federal mail goes to each institution's own P.O. box, not a central address. Address it to the person's full committed name and 8-digit register number, then the institution's name, then its P.O. box.
  • Money is the one exception: funds for a federal inmate's commissary account do NOT go to the institution. They go to a separate national processing center — Federal Bureau of Prisons, PO Box 474701, Des Moines, IA 50947-0001 — regardless of which facility the person is in.
  • Incoming mail is opened and inspected for contraband before delivery; legal mail is opened only in the inmate's presence.
  • Confirm the person's current institution on the BOP's online inmate locator before mailing — federal inmates are transferred between facilities, sometimes with little notice.
  • 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.
