How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money is straightforward once you know the accepted payment types and where to go. Here's how deposits work at the Jail Visitation Lobby Window for the Globe and Payson jail facilities.
The Jail Visitation Lobby Window only accepts money orders or cashier's checks for inmate account deposits (at both the Globe and Payson jail facilities). Cash is not accepted. Don't bring cash expecting staff to convert it or apply it to an account.
The Jail Visitation Lobby Window accepts deposits 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No need to wait for business hours.
Good to know: There are no fees to drop off money orders or cashier’s checks for inmate accounts at the Jail Visitation Lobby Window.
Want to get money released from an inmate account to someone outside? The inmate has to start that process. They'll need to submit an Inmate Request Form authorizing the release. Once approved, the funds are issued as a check payable to the third party the inmate named.
Steps
- ✓ Get a money order or a cashier’s check for the deposit (cash is not accepted).
- ✓ Bring it to the Jail Visitation Lobby Window at the Globe or Payson jail facility.
- Drop it off when it works for you: Deposits at the Jail Visitation Lobby Window can be made 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
- ✓ Expect no fee when you drop off a money order or cashier’s check at the Jail Visitation Lobby Window.
- Have the inmate request the release: The inmate must submit an Inmate Request Form before funds can be released to a third party.
- Plan for payment by check: Released funds come as a check payable to the third party the inmate names.
Before you head in, verify a few details with the facility so your deposit is accepted the first time. Confirm they're still only taking money orders or cashier's checks at the Jail Visitation Lobby Window (and that cash is still not accepted). Check that deposits are still accepted 24/7/365 and that there are no fees for drop-offs. If you're trying to have funds released to someone outside, ask about the exact process for the inmate's Inmate Request Form and confirm that released funds are still issued as a check payable to the named third party. It's also worth asking what documentation (if any) you'll need when dropping off a deposit or receiving released funds.
