5 Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Brazoria County Jail

Brazoria County Jail gives you several ways to fund an inmate's account. Online deposits go through Access Corrections, and you can also call Access Corrections to pay by phone with a Visa or MasterCard. Prefer handling it in person? There's a lobby kiosk at the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office that accepts Visa and MasterCard. For cash deposits, you can use the Cash Pay walk-in option at participating Dollar General or Family Dollar stores. If you're trying to add phone funds specifically, the jail uses NCIC Inmate Communications for its phone service.

For online deposits, Brazoria County uses Access Corrections. This works well if you want to pay from home and keep a record of the transaction. When starting your deposit, select Brazoria County and enter the inmate's information exactly as the system requests.

Prefer to deposit by phone? Call Access Corrections at 866-345-1884. You'll need a Visa or MasterCard to complete the payment. This works well if you don't want to create an online account, or if you're helping someone who's more comfortable handling things over the phone.

You can also deposit in person at the kiosk in the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office lobby. Bring a Visa or MasterCard. This is a good option if you're already in the area and want to handle everything directly.

Need to pay with cash? Brazoria County allows cash walk-in deposits through Cash Pay, part of the Access Corrections network. You can make deposits at participating Dollar General or Family Dollar locations. First, complete the Cash Pay enrollment process through Access Corrections. Then bring the required information to the retailer so your deposit gets credited to the right person.

For phone-specific funds, Brazoria County Sheriff's Office Detention Center uses NCIC Inmate Communications as its phone service (effective December 22, 2022). You can set up a new account or add funds through NCIC's website, or by calling 1-800-943-2189. If your goal is helping someone make calls, use NCIC instead of the Access Corrections deposit methods.
