How to Send Money to Duval County Jail (FL)

Money you send goes into the person's inmate commissary account. From there, they can use it to buy basic personal items, snacks, and other essentials the jail makes available.

Before you send anything, plan for limits and fees. Both can vary depending on the method you choose, so the amount you're allowed to deposit and the total cost may differ from one option to the next.

Steps

• ✓ Confirm you are adding funds to the person’s inmate commissary/account (this is how jail deposits are typically handled).
• ✓ Choose a deposit method, then confirm its deposit limits and transaction fees with Duval County Jail before you pay.
• ✓ Gather the inmate’s identifying details you will be asked for (at minimum, their full legal name and an inmate ID or booking number if available).
• ✓ Save your receipt or confirmation number and the date/time you sent the money so you can track it if there’s a delay.

1. Confirm the accepted deposit methods - Ask Duval County Jail which ways they allow you to add money (methods can differ by facility).
2. Ask about deposit limits - Confirm any per-transaction or daily limits for the method you plan to use.
3. Ask about all fees - Get the exact transaction fee(s) and clarify who charges them (the jail or the payment provider).
4. Confirm processing timeframes - Ask how long it usually takes for funds to show up on the inmate’s account for your chosen method.
5. Confirm required inmate details - Make sure you have the exact identifiers they require so your deposit posts to the right person.

Check with the Duval County Sheriff's Office or the jail directly to confirm current rules. Fees, limits, and processing times can all change. If you're not sure who to ask, call the jail's main line and ask for the unit that handles inmate accounts, commissary, or inmate services.
