Wood County Jail Mail and Commissary Rules

Mail goes to: Inmate's Name, 1960 E. Gypsy Ln Rd, Bowling Green, OH 43402. All incoming letters are opened, searched for contraband, and distributed the next day. The jail has a long list of prohibited items. You cannot send drawings or writing in anything other than pencil or blue/black ink. Sexually explicit photos, computer-printed photos, items with fragrance, and items with water spots or foreign material are all banned.

Also prohibited: correspondence with irregularities, newspaper clippings, printed web pages, cards with glitter or attachments, packages with books or clothing, and anything the staff perceives as contraband. These rules are strict, and mail that does not follow them will not make it to the inmate.

Commissary is provided by Keefe Group. You can add funds three ways:

• Lobby kiosk accepting cash (no $1 bills) and credit or debit cards
• Online at www.AccessCorrections.com

Money orders are no longer accepted. Funds are available within two hours of deposit. Inmates can order commissary up to two times per week if they have enough funds. Hygiene items must be ordered before other items.

The jail's strict mail rules exist for safety reasons.
