Send an Inmate Mail in the Blount County Detention Center

Writing to someone at the Blount County Detention Center in Oneonta? Keep to the basics below. Call 205-625-4133 with any questions.

Mailing address:
Inmate's full name and booking number
Blount County Detention Center
225 Industrial Park Road
Oneonta, AL 35121

Each inmate's booking number is shown on the online roster.

  • Every envelope needs a return address, so the jail knows the sender.
  • Stick with white stationery and envelopes, and write in blue or black.
  • Nothing extra goes inside or on the envelope: no stickers, glitter or crayon, no perfume, no tape or glue, and no cash, checks or stamps.
  • Send photos as ordinary prints with nothing written or attached, and never explicit or gang-related images.
  • Check before mailing books, magazines or packages, which jails usually accept only from a store or publisher.
  • Staff can be expected to open and inspect personal mail; marked legal mail is opened in the inmate's presence.

People are released or moved all the time, so take a quick look at the roster before you mail anything.
