Home / California / Alpine County / Mail

Send mail after an Alpine County arrest.

Do not address personal mail to Alpine County Sheriff. Address it using the receiving jail’s exact route and the person’s booking details.

Follow the route ↓

One decision at a time

Use the jail that actually received the person.

Alpine County handles the local arrest but does not operate the place of confinement.

  1. 01

    Confirm the receiving jail

    A letter sent to the arresting office will not substitute for the jail’s mail process.

  2. 02

    Copy the booked name and number

    Use the exact name shown by the receiving county and include its booking or arrest number.

  3. 03

    Use El Dorado’s personal-mail route

    Address ordinary mail to the person’s name and booking number, El Dorado County County Jail, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606.

  4. 04

    Send legal or publisher mail to the facility

    El Dorado directs legal, medical, and approved publisher mail to the person’s actual South Lake Tahoe or Placerville jail address.

  5. 05

    Use San Andreas for Calaveras

    Address Calaveras mail to the person’s name, Calaveras County Jail, 1045 Jeff Tuttle Drive, San Andreas, CA 95249.
