How to Send Money to Clay County Detention (FL)

You can't hand money directly to an inmate. Clay County Jail requires all in-person deposits to go through the kiosk in the jail lobby. The kiosk is available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., so plan your trip around those hours.

Prefer to send money by phone? Clay County Jail lists Government Payment Service (GPS) as an option. Call (888) 277-2535, which is open 24 hours a day. You'll need the inmate's name and inmate number, plus two codes: the facility code (23J for Clay County Jail) and the pay location code (#5500). GPS deposits range from $25 to $100 per transaction, and a 5% service fee applies to every deposit.

Steps

• ✓ Do not try to hand money or property directly to an inmate.
• ✓ Go to the jail lobby and use the kiosk to deposit funds into the inmate’s account.
• ✓ Use the lobby kiosk during the listed lobby hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

• ✓ Call Government Payment Service (GPS) at (888) 277-2535 (open 24 hours a day).
• ✓ Have the inmate’s name and inmate number ready.
• ✓ Use facility code 23J for the Clay County Jail.
• ✓ Use pay location code #5500.
• ✓ Choose an amount within the per-transaction limits: minimum $25, maximum $100.
• ✓ Expect a 5% service fee to be applied to the deposit.

Before you head to the jail or pick up the phone, confirm the lobby kiosk hours (Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.). If you're using GPS, verify the phone line is available when you plan to call and double-check the $25 to $100 per-transaction limits and the 5% service fee so your deposit doesn't get held up.

Small details can cause a deposit to fail. Make sure you have the inmate's name and inmate number exactly as the jail has them on file. Also confirm that the facility code (23J) and pay location code (#5500) are still the correct codes for Government Payment Service at Clay County Jail.
