Mail rules can vary between Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) state facilities, county jails, and federal institutions in Michigan. Always confirm your specific facility's current rules. Questions? Email Flikshop at info@flikshop.com. Full MDOC mail policy: here

• Physical mail is allowed in Michigan Department of Corrections facilities. Personal mail including postcards, letters, and photos is received, inspected, and photocopied before delivery.
   

• All mail must include the resident’s full name and prisoner identification number. Missing information may cause mail to be delayed or rejected. Flikshop prompts you to enter the correct MDOC number during checkout.
   

• Photos are permitted in Michigan facilities, but Polaroids are prohibited. Photos containing nudity, gang imagery, weapons, drugs, or sexually explicit content may be rejected. Flikshop scans every photo before printing to help reduce rejection risks.
   

• Stickers and adhesive stamps are prohibited and may be treated as contraband. Flikshop uses a metered stamp printed directly on the postcard, helping mail stay compliant.
   

• Michigan facilities photocopy incoming personal mail before delivery, meaning residents may receive a photocopy instead of the original postcard or photo. Flikshop prints in high-quality full color for better reproduction quality.
   

• Mail containing weapons, escape plans, gang-related content, threats, drug-related instructions, nudity, or sexually explicit material may be denied under Michigan mail policies.
   

• Legal and confidential mail follow separate procedures and are handled differently from personal mail like Flikshop Postcards and Letters.
   

• Flikshop Postcards, Letters, and Prints are designed to follow common Michigan Department of Corrections mail guidelines, helping families stay connected more easily and reliably.
