Sending Money
Crawford County Detention Center lists JailATM as its deposit vendor, which identifies itself as operated by Tech Friends, Inc. Deposits routed through that system are processed by that operator. You can typically add money through an online payment portal, a lobby kiosk, mailed money orders, or a commissary vendor site, depending on what's available. Before sending funds, have the inmate's state and facility name ready, along with either their ID number or full name, so the money posts to the right account. If a deposit looks wrong or never shows up, contact the money transmitter that processed the payment directly. They handle transaction-level issues, not the facility. Colorado residents should note that money transmitters must be licensed in the state, and Colorado-specific complaints must be submitted in writing to the Colorado Division of Banking using its complaint form.
