How to Send Money to Barrow County Jail, GA (GA)

Barrow County Detention Center accepts inmate funds by mail, and the only accepted form is a money order. Address it to Barrow County Detention Center, 652 Barrow Park Drive, Winder, GA 30680. Include the inmate's name and ID number on the envelope so staff can credit the right account. One important rule: keep the envelope "money order only." If you include anything else (a letter, photographs, etc.), the jail will return everything except the money order to the sender. Want to write a letter too? Send it in a separate envelope and follow the jail's standard mail rules for correspondence.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Get a money order (the jail’s policy says only money orders are accepted for inmate funds by mail)
• ✓ Write the inmate’s full name and ID number so it can be applied to the correct account
• ✓ Address the envelope to: Barrow County Detention Center, 652 Barrow Park Drive, Winder, GA 30680
• ✓ Mail only the money order in that envelope, do not include letters, photographs, or other enclosures

Before you buy the money order, call the facility to confirm a few details the published policy doesn't spell out: who the money order should be made payable to, any limit on the amount, and how long it typically takes to post to the inmate's account. Double-check the exact format they want for the inmate's ID number, too. If you were hoping to deposit money another way (online, by phone, kiosk, or cash by mail), check directly with the facility first. The published mail policy only confirms money orders by mail and warns that other items included in the same envelope will be returned.
