Juab County Jail Mailing Policies and Prohibited Contraband
Inmates at the Juab County Jail are allowed to both send and receive mail, provided the mail does not violate any of the jail’s policies. Mail for Juab County Jail inmates should be sent to the following address:
(Inmate Name Here)
C/O Juab County Jail
P.O. Box 133
Nephi, UT 84648
Virtually all items are considered contraband and will not be delivered to inmates. The only items which the Juab County Jail permits in incoming mail are:
- Letters
- Money Orders
- Photographs
Money orders will be credited to the inmate’s account, at which point he or she can use the funds to make phone calls, pay for jail services, or buy items from the Juab County Jail commissary. Commissaries carry products similar to what you would find in a convenience store, such as snacks, writing supplies, and hygiene products. Even if jail rules prevent you from mailing a certain item to your loved one, there’s a chance he or she might be able to buy something similar at the commissary.
In addition to letters, photographs, and money orders, the jail will also accept books, as long as two conditions are met:
- The book must be a paperback. Hardcover books are prohibited.
- The book must be sent straight to the jail from the retailer. For instance, you could order a book on Amazon and set the jail as the delivery address. If you had the book delivered to your home and attempted to send it to the jail from your address, the mail would be refused.
Needless to say, jail personnel will screen all incoming mail to confirm that it does not present any safety hazards or otherwise violate jail rules. Any materials depicting or promoting the use of narcotics, the use of illegal weapons, gang activity, profanity, or obscenity will be intercepted. Since your mail will be screened, you should think twice about including anything you would not want a stranger to potentially read.
Accepting Prepaid Phone Calls from Inmates: How to Load a Financial Account
Unfortunately, Juab County Jail rules prohibit friends and family members from calling inmates. However, inmates are allowed to place outgoing calls, provided their accounts contain adequate funds to cover the cost of the phone call.
One way to add funds to an inmate’s account is to send a money order to the jail at the mailing address supplied above. You can also:
- Deposit funds online using your debit or credit card. To start, navigate to www (dot) govpaynow (dot) com, which is the website the jail uses to process financial transactions. You’ll see a blank field prompting you to enter your “pay location code” (PLC). Type in “5500,” which is the PLC for Juab County Jail, and follow the prompts. Be prepared with your loved one’s inmate number.
- Make a deposit in person. This method might be convenient if your daily commute happens to take you near the jail. Simply find the kiosk in the jail’s front lobby and follow the instructions on the screen. The street address for the Juab County Jail is:45 West Center Street
Nephi, UT 84648
The jail is located just south of the intersection of West 100 North and South Main Street, near the Nephi Post Office and a Wells Fargo bank branch. If you need driving directions or have any other questions about the rules for communicating with inmates, you can contact the Juab County Sheriff’s Office by calling (435) 623-1344. Alternately, you can send an email to danderson (at) juab (dot) utah (dot) gov, which will connect you to Juab County Sheriff Douglas Anderson.
If one of your loved ones is being detained at the Juab County Jail, there’s no time to lose. Call criminal lawyer Darwin Overson right away at (801) 758-2287 for a free and absolutely confidential legal consultation.

"Having Tawni representing just made everything feel and be more smooth."
We are beyond grateful to have been able to work with attorney Tawni Bugden. Since the first time we spoke over the phone she gave me hope, sense of relief and free judgment!! She always was available to my questions and concerns even at times she had to explain to me more than once. Having a family member in jail and going through the whole process of courts and wanting to do more for them it’s the worst feeling ever, but having Tawni representing just made everything feel and be more smooth and had such a amazing outcome. She was able to get no prison time and even be released before sentencing court. Honestly if I was ever to go through this situation again ( hope I never do) no doubt Tawni will be our attorney!!!

“If someone is making allegations against you, you really should talk to Darwin.”
I was charged with domestic violence and the allegations were that I abused my husband. Truth is, my husband was abusive to me. I hired Darwin and we had a trial. During the trial, Darwin was able to show the jury that it was my husband that was abusive and was trying to manipulate the process of our divorce. The jury found me not guilty and after the trial one of the jurors approached me and told me how impressed the jury was with the way Darwin presented the defense. Before the trial, my now soon to be ex-husband tried to convince me to plead guilty. So going to trial was really the first time I was able to stand up to him and not let him manipulate my life anymore. Darwin really helped me with that process and I can’t express how empowering it has been. If someone is making allegations against you, you really should talk to Darwin.

“If you or a loved one is in trouble, Darwin is your guy.”
“I was arrested for DUI. From the very beginning Darwin was very professional and supportive. Throughout the court process I was scared. I kept telling Darwin that wanted to plead guilty just to end it but Darwin encouraged me to stick with it and take the case to trial. The morning of trial, Darwin was able to cross examine the (arresting) officer in such a way as to show the jury that there was reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of the breathalyzer machine. That was important because they were saying my BAC was .182. Darwin walked me through my testimony so that the jury understood what happened from my point of view. I think if he hadn’t been able to help me through my testimony the way he did that the jury wouldn’t have understood and they would have convicted me. The jury deliberated for two hours and then returned a verdict of not guilty.I am really thankful that Darwin was my attorney and that I took his advice to take my case to a jury. If you or a loved one is in trouble, Darwin is your guy.”

“The jury found my husband not guilty and I credit Darwin for making that happen.”
“My husband was charged with a first degree felony sex crime against our granddaughter. Anyone who knew my husband knew he didn’t do it. He was the type to protect children not hurt them. We had been represented by another attorney who just couldn’t get the prosecutor to see that the charges weren’t good. When it came time for trial, that attorney was scared to try the case. We were referred to Darwin and I am so grateful. Trial was a week long and by the end, Darwin had shown the jury how our grandchild had been manipulated by the social workers and her mother to say things that were not true. Darwin was careful and thorough in his investigation and preparation before trial and it really showed in court. The jury found my husband not guilty and I credit Darwin for making that happen.”

“I thank Darwin …had it not been for him, things would have turned out very differently for me and not in a good way.”
“Several years ago, I was having troubles in my marriage. There were lots of arguments and it was clear that we were headed for a separation. One night I was woke up by six West Valley Police officers standing around my bed with flashlights shining in my eyes. It was 3:00 in the morning and they drug me to the police station where they informed me that I was being arrested for engaging in sexual relations with my baby girl. I could not believe it. Over the next several days I lost my job because of these allegations and a protective order issued against me preventing me from seeing my wife and child, and even from going to the house to get my things. My world was turned upside down. I hired Darwin to represent me. He helped me get my job back, over turned the protective order and through his own investigation was able to uncover enough about my wife to convince the prosecutor to drop all charges against me. About six months later my wife was arrested for possessing thousands of dollars of fake checks. I have moved on and remarried. I thank Darwin for helping me through an incredibly difficult part of my life and I think had it not been for him, things would have turned out very differently for me and not in a good way.”
