When Can You Deposit Money After Someone Is Booked at Forsyth County Detention Center?
When you can deposit money at Forsyth County Detention Center depends on when your person was booked. The good news: once their account opens for public deposits, you can add money 24/7 through the Records lobby kiosks.
Deposit access at Forsyth County Detention Center depends on two booking windows. Booked Monday through Friday before 3:30 PM? You can deposit to the inmate's account anytime - 24/7 - using the kiosks in the Records lobby. Booked Friday after 3:30 PM, on a Saturday or Sunday, or Monday morning before 10:30 AM? Public deposits through those same kiosks won't open until after 11:00 AM on Monday.
Quick timing rule: Booked Mon–Fri before 3:30 PM = deposits available right away via the Records lobby kiosks. Booked late Friday, over the weekend, or before 10:30 AM Monday = deposits open after 11:00 AM Monday.
Weekend timing trips people up the most. If someone is booked late Friday afternoon - after 3:30 PM - you won't be able to deposit through the Records lobby kiosks until after 11:00 AM Monday. Same goes for Saturday or Sunday bookings. But a weekday booking earlier in the day (before 3:30 PM) means you can deposit right away using those kiosks, which helps if they need money for basics fast.
Once deposits open for your person's booking window, you can use a lobby kiosk at the detention center. It's located in the back of the lobby, accepts cash, credit, and debit cards, and runs 24 hours a day in a secure area monitored by Forsyth County staff. The public lobby itself has set hours for in-person services: Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
