Putting Money on an Inmate's Account at Anderson County Jail: Complete Guide
Adding money to someone's account at Anderson County Jail is simple once you know the approved methods—and the one weekly deadline that matters for commissary.
You can deposit online through www.jailatm.com using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. This is the easiest option if you can't get to the jail in person or need to meet the weekly commissary cutoff.
Prefer to handle it in person? Use the ATM in the jail lobby. It accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards.
Warning: Sheriff’s Office personnel will not accept cash, money orders, cashier’s checks, or any other form of currency in person or through the mail for inmate funds.
Timing matters. Funds must be deposited by noon on Monday to count toward that week's commissary order. Miss that deadline and the money won't be available until the following week.
You can also order care packages through www.jailatm.com - the same site used for deposits. Find the inmate, choose a package, and pay online. The package ships directly to them.
Practical Checklist
- ✓ Confirm the inmate’s name (and booking number if you have it) so the deposit goes to the right account.
- ✓ Choose your deposit method: online at www.jailatm.com or the ATM in the jail lobby.
- ✓ If you want the money available for that week’s commissary order, make sure the deposit is completed by noon on Monday.
- ✓ Save your receipt or confirmation after you submit the deposit.
- ✓ If you’re sending items instead of (or in addition to) funds, place a care package order through www.jailatm.com.
