How to Send Money to Facility

Family and friends can add money to an inmate's account through JailATM using a credit or debit card. If you need to get funds to someone quickly, this is the deposit method the facility directs people to for online card payments.

Keep the weekly limit in mind. Deposits are capped at $300 per week, so if multiple people are contributing, coordinate to make sure the total stays under that cap.

Before you start, gather the exact information the system asks for. JailATM requires the inmate's name, arrest number, and location.

If something doesn't match when you try to submit a payment, stop and double-check the details you entered, especially the arrest number and location. Those fields are required. Before you finalize, also confirm current deposit fees, the exact weekly limit as enforced right now, and which credit or debit cards are accepted.

Steps

• ✓ Go to JailATM’s website and start a deposit using a credit or debit card
• ✓ Enter the inmate’s name, arrest number, and location when prompted
• ✓ Submit the payment and keep your confirmation details for your records

• ✓ Add up deposits for the week and keep the total at $300 or less

• ✓ Have the needed social security information ready, since it is required for compliance with federal regulations

Check the current maximum deposit amount before sending money, especially if more than one person is depositing in the same week. The stated limit is $300 per week, but policies can change.

Make sure you have the inmate's information exactly as the system expects it. JailATM requires the inmate's name, arrest number, and location. Even a small mismatch (like a missing digit in the arrest number) can block a deposit from going through.

To confirm any of these details, start with the facility's money-deposit guidance (often handled through the cashier function or intake) and the facility's official information. For questions specific to the online payment process, JailATM's help or support resources are usually the right place to look.
