Privileged Mail may only contain professional/privileged correspondence to the inmate. Prohibited enclosures such as greeting cards, paperclips, staples, Post‑it notes, tape, whiteout/correction tape, or any non‑paper item may be removed for safety and security. Removal of prohibited items shall not delay or interfere with delivery of the legal communication. Digital discovery must be mailed to the ‘Digital Discovery’ address listed below.

Other than approved medical items, no property will be allowed to drop off at this facility.

  • Medical items may be brought to the Bondsmen’s Entrance for review before being accepted by the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office Medical Staff.
  • Money may be added to an inmate’s books utilizing several options. (See Inmate Accounts page.)
  • Books may be purchased and mailed directly from a verifiable book distributor/reseller. Books must be new in condition, softback and not pose a safety/security concern to this facility.
