Basic Information About This Jail
Before you can reach anyone in the jail, you need some basic information about where the jail is and how you can contact people who are housed there. Here is some of the information you don't want to miss:
| Physical Address |
1695 South Buffalo Drive Raymondville, TX 78580 |
| Phone | (956)-689-4900 |
Inmate Mailing Address:
Inmate Name, TDCJ ID Number Willacy County State Jail 1695 South Buffalo Drive Raymondville, TX 78580
That last point is particularly important as it is the only way that you will be able to reach out to someone who is behind bars in this facility. You won't hear from your loved one at all if you don't include their name and their TDCJ ID number when addressing the letter. This lets prison guards know which inmate you are specifically trying to reach, as some may have the same or similar names. You need to be crystal-clear in your instructions as to whom you are trying to speak with.
How to Send Money to an Inmate
Sending money to an inmate is obviously a very sensitive matter. In fact, sending anything at all to an inmate can cause a stir if it is not done properly. This is why you need to follow the procedures to a tee if you want that money to get to your loved one without any hangups or problems.
These are the methods that you can use to make it happen.
- By walk-in
- Over the Internet
- By mail
- Over the phone
No matter which method you select, there will be prison security monitoring the activity to make sure you are following the procedures as laid out by Texas law. You should keep the amount that you send relatively small as inmates don't have many uses for money behind bars and because you don't want to draw attention or scrutiny from guards and others about how much you are sending and why. You should only be supplying someone in jail with enough funds to buy some basic products that they can buy while in there.
