PERSONAL LETTERS GO TO
Dashed lines are for you to fill in, in the department's own words.
Personal mail does not go to the prison's PO Box 280, Polkton, NC 28135. Use the state's separate personal mail address and write Anson Correctional Institution as the facility name. Legal mail senders should contact the prison; publications and packages go to its street address.
Legal mail from lawyers and courts has its own address or rules: see the department's mail page.
