How to Send Money to Someone at Daviess County Detention Center (kiosk, mail, online)
Getting money to someone at Daviess County Detention Center? You have three options: the lobby kiosk, mailing an approved check or money order, or using CorrectPay online or by phone. Here's how each method works—and the rules that trip people up.
The kiosk is in the Building 1 lobby and accepts both cash and credit cards. It's a solid choice if you prefer handling things in person.
The Building 1 lobby kiosk is available 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to plan around business hours to add funds.
Funds usually post after a short delay - at least by the next day. If you're covering something time-sensitive, plan for that small lag.
Heads up: Credit card deposits (including kiosk credit card payments) are limited so the inmate’s account balance can’t exceed $300.
Prefer to deposit from home? Daviess County Detention Center accepts credit card deposits through CorrectPay.com. It's the easiest option when you can't make it to the lobby.

Reminder: Credit card deposits made online are also subject to the $300 maximum inmate account balance limit.
Mailing Checks Mail Rules
- ✓ Do not send cash by mail.
- ✓ Mail deposits must be a cashier’s check.
- ✓ Mail deposits must be a certified check.
- ✓ Mail deposits must be a money order.
- Make it payable to the facility - Write the check payable to “Daviess County Detention Center.”
- Add the inmate’s name - Put the inmate’s name on the memo line.
- Include your return info - Write the sender’s full name and return address on the outside of the envelope.
Mail cashier’s checks, certified checks, or money orders to: DCDC Attn: Bookkeeper 3337 Hwy 144 Owensboro, KY 42303
Government checks: Government checks are the only two-party checks allowed for deposits. They must be payable to the incarcerated inmate and deposited in full to the inmate’s account.
Credit card deposits - whether at the kiosk or online - can't push an inmate's account balance above $300. If they're already near that cap, your deposit may not go through as expected. Check the balance before you send.
Mailing a two-party check? The facility's exception is narrow: only government checks qualify. They must be payable to the incarcerated inmate and deposited in full to their account.
Watch the available balance: If the inmate owes any fees, 50% of all deposits will be deducted and applied to those fees (this applies to state and federal inmates too).
