How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Clarke County Jail accepts mailed money orders for inmate accounts. Don't mail cash, personal checks, or payroll checks, and don't bring a money order to the jail in person. Mail money orders directly to the jail's Business Office at the Lexington Road address, including the inmate's full name and ID number so it can be credited without delays. You can also add funds using the Smart Deposit kiosk in the front lobby. A service fee applies, and you'll receive a receipt. Inmate cash accounts are capped at $200.00, and deposits aren't accepted once the balance reaches that amount. For commissary that week, money must arrive by Tuesday at 7:00 PM.
