How to Send Money to El Paso County Jail, TX (TX)

El Paso County Jail only accepts cashier's checks or money orders for inmate accounts. Address the envelope exactly like this: El Paso County Jail, Attn: Bookkeeping – Inmate Funds, 2739 East Las Vegas Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80906-1522. Don't include letters or anything else in the same envelope. If you do, the entire envelope (including your funds) will be returned.

The jail accepts international mail. If your loved one has funds in their account, they can buy postage stamps to write overseas. Indigent inmates only receive first-class postage for addresses within the United States or APO/FPO locations. Keep in mind these policies cover mail and postage, not the deposit process itself, so they won't tell you how quickly deposited money becomes available for purchases.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use a cashier’s check or money order (no other payment type is listed as accepted for mailed funds).
• ✓ Address the envelope to: El Paso County Jail, Attn: Bookkeeping – Inmate Funds, 2739 East Las Vegas Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80906-1522.
• ✓ Mail only inmate funds in that envelope. Do not include letters or other items, or the entire envelope (including the funds) will be returned.
• ✓ Send inmate funds only to the bookkeeping unit and address listed above.

• ✓ International mail is allowed at this jail.
• ✓ If your loved one has funds in their account, they can use those funds to purchase postage to write to an out-of-country address.
• ✓ Indigent inmates are only provided first-class postage for mail within the United States or to APO/FPO addresses.

Before sending anything, confirm the current mailing address for inmate funds and double-check they still accept only cashier's checks or money orders. Procedures change. Following the exact "bookkeeping, inmate funds" instructions ensures your deposit gets accepted and processed.

1. Confirm the jail’s current mail rules: Ask whether there are any extra restrictions for international mail (for example, additional screening or formatting requirements).
2. Ask how international postage purchases work: Verify that inmates can buy stamps for out-of-country mail when they have funds, and whether there are any limits that affect how often or how much they can mail internationally.
3. Clarify the indigent postage policy: Ask how the jail determines indigent status and how the “first-class postage for U.S. or APO/FPO only” policy is applied.
4. Verify limits before you mail funds: Note: Confirm whether there are any amount limits, payee requirements, or other prohibitions that could cause a cashier’s check or money order to be rejected or returned.
