How to Send Money to Facility
Sending money is straightforward once you know which payment methods are accepted and what information you need. Follow the steps below, and verify details before paying since fees, limits, and processing times can change.
Before using any payment option, confirm you're on the recipient's approved visitor list. Without approval, you won't be able to send funds through any method.
Quick overview: You can send money online through JPay using the offender's Inmate ID and a credit or debit card. Another option: create a free money order voucher to print and mail (allow up to two weeks for mail and processing). Securus pre-paid collect account deposits are limited to $200 per deposit.
JPay charges a per-transaction fee. Listed tiers include $3.50 for $0.01 to $20.00, $5.00 for $20.01 to $100.00, and $6.50 for $100.01 to $300.00. If you run into issues, a live agent is available 24/7 to help.
