Inmate Accounts

When an inmate is booked into the Adult Detention Center, an inmate account is started at that time. At any time while an inmate is in custody money may be placed on this account. Inmates may use this money to make commissary purchases, for medical services, or for other programs provided by the Detention Center.

There are three ways to place money on an inmate account (Note that the inmate’s six digit Criminal File Number is needed for each deposit option.):
1. Cash
Cash may be brought to the lobby of either detention facility. In the lobby there will be a money kiosk where deposits are made. You will need to know the inmate’s six digit Criminal File Number.
