Are you hoping to get in touch with an inmate at Madison?

How to Contact Madison Correctional Institution Inmates

MaCI encourages communication between inmates and their families and offers several avenues for interaction. Once you've found and made contact with an inmate, you can begin a correspondence and eventually, set up appointments for visitation. Here are the means and rules to corresponding with a MaCI inmate:

Contacting an Inmate by Postal Mail

Here is what you need to know about sending postal mail to an inmate:

1. All non-legal correspondence will be opened and reviewed by MaCI staff.
2. MaCI does not allow colored envelopes and/or colored mail contents.
3. Colored cards or stationery will be photocopied; the inmate will only get a copy.
4. You may not send postage stamps or stickers in the postal mail.

You may send the following items to an inmate in a postal letter:

• Up to five photographs no larger than 5" x 7".

• No nudes or pornography
• No Polaroids

• Up to five newspaper clippings, no larger than 8.5" x 11"
• Up to five brochures or pamphlets

• Must be made of a single page no larger than 8.5" x 11"
• Bi-fold or tri-fold only

• Up to five sheets of blank, white stationary and/or photocopies no larger than 8.5" x 11"
• Single-fold greeting cards; no "pop-up" cards or cards with sound chips in them

You can write a letter to an inmate by addressing the envelope as follows:

Inmate name

Inmate ID number

PO Box 740

London, OH 43140

Contacting an Inmate via Email

While MaCI inmates do not have direct email access, you can send email through a third-party system that requires an account through which members can purchase electronic "stamps" at a lower rate than USPS first-class mail. Through this third-party platform, inmates and family members can send messages that are delivered within 48 hours.

As with postal mail, all emails are read by MaCI staff; this is not an appropriate means of sending legal information to inmates as there are no privacy protections in the email system.

Contacting an Inmate by Phone

Inmates at Madison Correctional Institution in Ohio cannot accept incoming phone calls. In order for the inmate to be able to call you, you must be on an approved list registered with the prison, and the inmate must have credit on Global Tel Link, the telephone service provider.
