Send Money at Genesee County Jail

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

Adding money for someone at Genesee County Jail usually happens through a payment service: an online portal, phone payment, or on-site kiosk. These channels let you pick the type of deposit (commissary funds, bond, or other bill payments), though what's available depends on the facility and provider. Before you start, have the person's full name and booking or facility ID number ready, along with your billing name, address, and contact information. Enter IDs and amounts exactly as the payment site requests so your deposit goes to the right account. You may also be able to post full or partial bonds through third-party services or kiosks. Refund and disbursement rules depend on how the bond was posted and local procedures.
