Inmates at Elk County Prison may receive only metered, unstamped, plain white postcards no larger than 4" x 6" as mail. Writing must be in pencil or blue or black ink. Any other mail will be returned to the sender.

If no return address is available, unauthorized mail will be stored in the inmate's locker until the inmate's release.

Inmate mail cannot contain any of the following:

  • Create an immediate threat to jail order or security

  • Advocate violence, racial supremacy or ethnic purity

  • No current inmate-to-inmate mail will be allowed

  • Gang-related material – Graffiti

  • Obscenity

  • Two party check - CASH - only money orders accepted

  • Stamps - Stamped Envelope

  • Restricted publications -No Magazines

Sending Money

You can either send money to an inmate by going to the Elk County Prison and dropping off a money order or you can use MoneyGram to deposit money in an inmate’s account.

Regardless of the method of sending funds, there are several key things you will need to know:

  • Inmate’s full committed name
  • Inmate’s ID number
  • Inmate’s location – or a system like the federal BOP

Phone Calls

Elk County Prison has a phone program where you set up an account through the third party company, GlobalTel, and then they charged you steep fees for each minute called.

According to the website, you can save money on inmate calling by using a “GlobalTel ‘Special Jail Phone Number’. When your inmate calls your ‘Special Jail Phone Number’, your phone rings and you save.” No more premium jail calling rates.

These phone calls are recorded and can be used against you so do not discuss your case with family members over these phone lines.

Visiting Rules

Elk County Prison requires all visitors to fill out an application prior to your visiting an inmate.

Carefully fill out the application. Incomplete paperwork is cause for denial.

Honesty, especially regarding past criminal convictions, probation etc., is important. These things will most likely show up on the background check – which if lied about on the application, will cause visits to be denied.

Jail visits are conducted in person behind plexiglass or on a televised screen from another location.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and guardians must provide proof of their guardianship.

Leave all personal belongings, except for your state ID in your vehicle or in a locker (if one is provided).

Children must be monitored at all times or jail staff will end the visit early.
