Inmate Correspondence

The Potter County Detention Center has contracted with Viapath Technologies to provide TextBehind electronic mail services. This mail delivery method is being implemented to streamline the operations of the Sheriff’s Office, improve communications, and ensure the safety and well-being of inmates and staff. TextBehind is a quick and efficient way for inmates to receive letters and photos electronically. Effective December 1st, 2023, inmate postal mail must be sent to the following address:

Potter County Detention Center

Inmate’s Name and SO#

P.O. Box 247

Phoenix, MD 21131

The inmate’s name and SO# (Sheriff’s Office number) must be printed clearly on the outside of the envelope or postcard to ensure the mail is posted to the correct account. The inmate’s SO# can be found by accessing the jail roster found under the Public Records tab, then clicking on the Jail Roster button. The inmates are listed in alphabetical order, with the SO# listed on the right side of each inmate’s name. 

All regular inmate postal mail (postcards, letters, greeting cards, etc.) will be scanned into the system and made available to the inmates for viewing via the tablets.

Legal mail, court documents, and publications will continue to be sent directly to the facility at 13100 NE 29th Amarillo, TX 79111.

DO NOT mail money orders or cashier's checks. They will be returned to sender. To give money toward an inmate’s account, see the Commissary section above.

All inmate correspondence must have a return address listed on the outside of the envelope.  

To report any mail delivery issues, contact TextBehind support directly at info@TextBehind.com.
