PINELLAS COUNTY JAIL TO TRANSITION TO PAPERLESS INMATE CORRESPONDENCE (25-035)

PINELLAS COUNTY – The Pinellas County Jail is set to modernize inmate correspondence by going paperless through its partnership with Smart Communications. Beginning on April 15, 2025, all incoming personal and legal mail will be digitized and made accessible to inmates via Smart Communications.

SENDING PERSONAL MAIL TO INMATES: Family and friends can continue to send personal letters to inmates by addressing them to:

Smart Communications - Pinellas County Jail

Attention To: (INMATE NAME and ID NUMBER)

P.O. Box 9129 Seminole, FL 33775-9129

It is essential to include the inmate’s name and ID number, as all mail that is missing this information will be returned to the sender. Once the mail is scanned, regular mail—including postcards, letters, greeting cards, and pictures—will be available for inmates to view electronically. Senders are advised to only mail copies of documents or photos they do not want returned.

To track mail delivery status, sign up for a MailGuardTracker.com account, where notifications of rejected mail and downloadable copies of received correspondence will be available. After release from custody, inmates can access their messages and postal mail at https://www.smartinmate.com for free.
