Marion County Inmate Mail and Funds

Inmate mail at the Multi-County Correctional Center goes through Smart Communications. Send letters to: Smart Communications-Multi-County Correctional Center, inmate name and ID number, PO Box 9124, Seminole, FL 33775. The system scans all mail and delivers it to inmates on kiosks or tablets. The original paper gets destroyed after scanning.

Books and magazines can be sent directly from sellers like Amazon or Barnes and Noble to the jail at the Marion address. They cannot come from individuals. This rule helps keep contraband out of the facility while still letting inmates read.

Funds go on commissary accounts three ways. You can use the kiosk in the MCCC lobby. You can call 1-866-232-1899. Or you can go online through the TouchPayDirect website. Visa and Mastercard cards work for phone and online deposits. These funds let inmates buy hygiene items, snacks, and other things from the commissary.
