How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Coosa County Jail (Kimble Kiosk & JailATM)

Coosa County Jail uses Kimble's Commissary Services for all commissary purchases. The jail's policy is straightforward: deposits go through the Kimble Kiosk in the lobby or through the commissary vendor online. No cash is accepted for deposits into inmate accounts. If you're figuring out which method to use, stick with the kiosk or online system - those are the only two options the jail officially names.

  1. Go to the jail lobby - The Kimble Kiosk is located in the lobby.
  2. Start a deposit on the Kimble Kiosk - Follow the on-screen prompts to make a deposit to the inmate’s account.
  3. Keep your proof of payment - If your deposit is handled as a visitor transaction, make sure you receive a receipt and hold onto it in case there’s a question later.

Note: The commissary policy says deposits must go through the Kimble Kiosk or online - no cash accepted. However, the visitation information mentions staff accepting visitor funds with a receipt. When in doubt, use the kiosk or online option. If you do make an in-person transaction, always get a receipt.

You can send money online through Kimble's JailATM service (also called Kimble's Inmate Direct). Create an account, select Coosa County Jail, enter the inmate's information, and complete your deposit. Fees, limits, and checkout steps are controlled by the vendor - check their site for current pricing and instructions.

The Sheriff's Office website has some conflicting information about visitor deposits. The visitation page says staff will accept money from visitors for inmate accounts and that a receipt must be provided for each transaction. It also states only cash or money orders are accepted from visitors. But the commissary/deposit policy says no cash is accepted and directs everyone to the Kimble Kiosk or online vendor. Since that's the clearest rule, treat kiosk or online as your default. If you try an in-person deposit, confirm what's currently accepted - and don't leave without a receipt.

  • Bring the payment type you plan to use (the visitation information mentions cash or money order for visitor deposits)
  • Ask for a receipt for every transaction, and keep it
  • If you want to avoid confusion, use the Kimble Kiosk in the lobby or the vendor’s online service when possible

If a deposit doesn't show up, you need clarification on accepted methods, or you're dealing with a receipt issue, contact the Coosa County Sheriff's Office. Their contact information: 296 School Street, PO Box 279, Rockford, AL 35136; phone 256-377-2211 or 256-377-4922; fax 256-377-2690; email office@coosaso.com.
