Due to the very strict guidelines of Los Angeles County Jail rules and regulations, we have created a separate page outlining their photo policies.
ONLY 5 PHOTOS allowed per inmate.
NOT per order but per Inmate! ie: You send 5. After 10 days, you can send another 5. Keep in mind they may have to turn in the first 5. No more than 5 photos per 10 day period.
All photos must be 4x6 photos.
Each photo must take up the entire 4x6 sheet. They will reject photos measuring 3x5 even if they are printed on a 4x6 sheet. So, make adjustments to EACH photo if necessary. NO POLAROIDS!
Example:
NO PHOTO COLLAGES!
You cannot put more than one photo on a 4x6 sheet.
Example:
NO ULTRASOUND PHOTOS WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION VISIBLE
You cannot send ultrasound photos with personal information visible which is usually at the top of the photo. See photo on the right side that has NO personal information on it. You can crop it out to make it acceptable.
Example:
NO Santa Muerte
You cannot send photos or drawings of Santa Muerte.
Example:
NO altered photos including the use of emojis.
Trying to hide hand gestures, or sexually explicit areas. No writing on photos. NO EMOJIS!
Examples:
NO generic hand gestures.
This includes ANY HAND GESTURES, even the peace sign and a thumbs up. ie: “hang loose,” “peace,” “#1.” Absolutely, NO hand gestures. Please do not try to cover the hand gesture with emojis or cross them out because they will not accept those either.
Examples:
NO photos with solo males.
There cannot be ANY photos where there is a single male in the photo. It has to be a couple, a family, an object, a pet, anything but NOT a single male.
Example:
NO identification cards, drivers licenses, etc.
There cannot be ANY photos of identification cards, drivers licenses, or any materials that have identifiable information on it.
Example:

So, as you can see, the list is quite extensive. The bottom line is this…if you want to share family photos with your loved one in a LA County Facility, (Terminal Annex, Twin Towers, Castaic) you must take the time to make sure all of these rules are followed. WE WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS FOR RETURNED ORDERS.
