How to Send Money to Cherokee County Jail (KS)

Cherokee County Jail lets you add money to an inmate's account online. This is usually the easiest option if you're handling things from home and want to skip a trip to the facility.

Phone deposits are another option. Cherokee County Jail accepts them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which is helpful if you need to send money outside normal business hours.

Prefer to pay in person? There's a kiosk in the entry of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. Before you go, call ahead to confirm the kiosk is available and what payment types it accepts.

Steps

• ✓ Choose a deposit method: online, by phone (available 24/7), or the kiosk in the entry of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
• ✓ Have the inmate’s information ready (at minimum, their full name and whatever ID number the deposit system asks for).
• ✓ Follow the prompts for the method you picked and review the details before you submit.
• ✓ Save your confirmation or receipt information in case you need to track the deposit later.

Before sending funds, confirm a few details with the jail so you don't run into delays. Check what payment types are accepted for each method (online, phone, and lobby kiosk) and whether fees apply. Ask how long deposits typically take to post to the inmate's account, since processing times vary. If you're using the kiosk at the Sheriff's Office, verify when it's accessible and any limits it may have. No matter which method you choose, confirm the exact inmate identification format the system requires (name spelling, booking number, or inmate ID). Also ask about deposit minimums or maximums, since limits can affect how much you can send at once.
