5 Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Cobb County Detention
Need to send commissary money to someone at Cobb County Detention? You've got options—some from home, some in person. Here are the five main ways to deposit funds, plus what you'll need to make sure the money lands in the right account.
Cobb County Detention accepts deposits five ways: mail a U.S. Postal Money Order, drop off cash in person during deposit hours, use the on-site kiosk, call in a deposit by phone, or pay online. The kiosk, phone, and online options all run through Global Tel Link (GTL), so you'll see GTL/ConnectNetwork pop up during those transactions. Which method works best depends on what you have on hand (cash or card), whether you can get to the facility, and how fast you need the funds to post.
Prefer to mail it? Cobb County accepts U.S. Postal Money Orders. Don't send cash - if it gets lost, the agency won't replace it. Make sure the envelope clearly shows the inmate's name and SOID# so it reaches the right person. Use this address: Cobb County Sheriff's Office, Georgia Inmate's Name and SOID# PO Box 247 Phoenix, MD 21131
If you can get to the facility, cash-only deposits are accepted daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Simple option if you're working with cash. There's also a GTL kiosk on-site that takes both cash and credit cards. Handy if you'd rather swipe a card or want a quick self-serve option while you're already there.
Rather handle it from home? Phone deposits are available at 888-988-4768. This goes through GTL - have the agency Site ID (153) and the inmate's ID number ready to speed things along. You can also deposit online at www.ConnectNetwork.com (GTL's platform). This is often the easiest route if you want to manage everything from your computer or phone and keep a digital record.
Choose Tips
- ✓ If you need speed, start with phone deposits (888-988-4768) or online deposits through ConnectNetwork.
- ✓ If you have cash and can get there, use the in-person cash deposit window (daily, 9:00 AM–7:00 PM).
- ✓ If you’re mailing funds, use a U.S. Postal Money Order and never send cash through the mail.
- ✓ No matter which method you use, keep your receipt or confirmation details until you’re sure the funds posted.
- ✓ Double-check you have the right identifying info (like the inmate’s name and required ID numbers) so the deposit lands in the correct account.
