About This Facility

Dick Ware Transfer Facility (DW) is located in the city of Colorado City, Texas which has a population of 4,146 (as of 2016) residents. This prison has a capacity of 508 inmates, which means this is the maximum amount of beds per facility. Dick Ware Transfer Facility (DW) began processing inmates once the original construction was completed and service started in 1997 but may have been expanded or renovated since that time, to accommodate the growing prison population. Prisoners are housed in separate areas depending on the crimes they committed, their current risk assessment, and their behavior. This facility is currently under the supervision of Senior Warden Linda Gonzales and houses male offenders.

Send Books & Magazines

Many correctional facilities let families send books and magazines to an inmate — but almost all of them require the items to be brand-new and shipped directly from the retailer. Anything sent secondhand or repackaged at home is usually rejected at the mailroom. Ordering from a retailer that ships direct is the standard way to get reading material in.

Typical requirements (confirm with Dick Ware Transfer Facility (DW) first):
  • Must ship new, directly from the retailer — you can't forward it yourself.
  • Softcover / paperback only at most facilities (hardcovers are commonly banned).
  • No used or third-party marketplace sellers — new copies only.
  • Limits on quantity per package and how many packages may be pending.
  • Address it to the inmate's full committed name and ID number.
  • Use the facility's mailroom address, which can differ from the public address.
Mailing address on file for this facility:
1681 South FM 3525 Colorado City, TX 79512
Always include the inmate's full name and ID, and confirm whether books go to a separate mailroom address.
Before you order: book policies vary by facility and change often, and a growing number of jails accept no physical books at all (reading is provided through electronic tablets instead). Confirm Dick Ware Transfer Facility (DW)'s current policy by calling 325-728-2162 so your package isn't returned.
