How to Send Money to Forsynth County Jail (GA)

Forsyth County Jail has a kiosk in the lobby where you can deposit money to an inmate's commissary account. It accepts credit cards, debit cards, and cash.

You can also add funds online through the Jail ATM website. If you don't already have an account, you'll need to create one first. From there, select the "send money now" option and follow the prompts to complete your deposit.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Use the lobby kiosk at Forsyth County Jail if you want to deposit in person (it accepts credit cards, debit cards, and cash).
• ✓ Use the online option if you prefer to deposit from home: go to the Jail ATM website, create an account (if needed), then click “send money now” and follow the instructions.

Before you deposit, confirm a few things that can affect how much money actually reaches your person's commissary account. Ask about processing fees for kiosk or online payments, and whether there are daily, weekly, or per-transaction limits. The jail notes that commissary orders are capped at a dollar amount set by the Jail Administrator, so it's worth asking what that limit is and how it works. If you plan to use the lobby kiosk, check when it's available and whether cash deposits are accepted anytime the lobby is open. For either method, make sure you have the right information ready (the inmate's full name and any booking or ID number the system requires) so your deposit doesn't get delayed or applied to the wrong account.
