Central Virginia Regional Jail
Postcards
The Central Virginia Regional Jail allows inmates to receive pre-metered postcards like the type purchased from the post office. They may also allow certain photo postcards as long as they have not been tampered with or contain images that may be considered to be obscene or violent in nature.
Envelopes
The Central Virginia Regional Jail may also allow regular postcards and envelopes to be mailed to inmates as well, however more and more jails are no longer allowing envelopes or paper letters due to concern about paper being dipped into liquefied drugs like methamphetamines and cocaine and then mailed into secure facilities.
To confirm that the Central Virginia Regional Jail still allows letters in envelopes call 540-672-3222 or view the Inmate Mail Instructions.
