How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name and identification number, if known, and use the facility’s official mailing address. Mail is typically inspected for safety and rule violations, and items such as cash, prohibited photos, or unapproved materials may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Crossroads Correctional Center?
Because this is primarily a state correctional facility, many people held here are sentenced inmates and may not have bail. If the inmate has an active court case with bond, bail is set by the court, and posting instructions should be confirmed with the court clerk, sheriff’s office, or the agency holding the case.
What happens during the intake process at Crossroads Correctional Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review paperwork, assign housing, screen for medical and safety needs, and enter the person into the records system. Search results may not appear immediately because processing and data updates can take several hours.
