Sending Letters to the Chickasaw County Jail

Correspondence for Shawver's prisoners goes to the sheriff's post office box instead of the N. Chestnut building, and the County Jail page insists the inmate's full name be part of the address:

[Prisoner, as booked by Shawver's deputies]
Chickasaw County Jail
P.O. Box 427
New Hampton, IA 50659

Barred from the mail are packages, obscene or pornographic material, food of any type and personal checks; envelopes scribbled or drawn on beyond the required address go back to the sender. Funding methods are laid out in the Chickasaw County money guide, and none of them involve slipping money into a letter.
