Four Ways to Send Money to Someone at Indio Jail (and How Each Works)
Want to put money on someone's account at Indio Jail? You've got four options—two through Access Corrections, one in-person kiosk, and one by mail. Here's how each works so you can pick what fits your situation.
Indio Jail accepts deposits four ways: online through Access Corrections, by phone through Access Corrections, at a lobby kiosk using cash or credit card, or by mailing a U.S. Postal money order. Which one makes sense depends on your situation - online and phone work from home, the kiosk is there if you prefer paying in person, and mail is an option if that's what you need.
Online deposits go through Access Corrections, which lets you add money directly to an inmate’s account without going to the jail. Plan for a processing fee - Access Corrections charges fees based on the type of transaction.
Prefer to handle it by phone? Call Access Corrections at 1-866-345-1884. The line runs 24/7, accepts Visa or MasterCard, and has live bilingual agents if you have questions during the deposit.
Fees: Access Corrections charges fees that vary by deposit amount and method (online, phone, or kiosk). Check the current fee schedule before you pay - no one likes surprises.
Another option: deposit money at a kiosk in the jail lobby. These accept cash or credit card and work for any inmate in Riverside County Sheriff's custody - regardless of which facility they're housed in.
At Indio, the lobby accepts deposits Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 9:00 pm. If you're paying cash, have your bills ready before you get to the kiosk.
- ✓ The kiosk can’t make change.
- ✓ The kiosk does not accept anything smaller than a $5.00 bill.
Need to send money by mail? The jail accepts U.S. Postal money orders. Write the inmate's name and booking number on the front - that's how staff match your payment to the right account.
Don't mail cash or personal checks. They're not accepted. If the facility receives them, the envelope gets marked "Return to Sender" and sent back.
The money you deposit goes into the inmate's account for commissary purchases - snacks, hygiene items, phone cards, writing materials. The basics that make day-to-day life inside a bit more manageable.
If money ends up unclaimed, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office holds it in an unclaimed fund account for three years. To file a claim, mail completed claim forms and supporting documentation to the Riverside County Sheriff (P.O. Box 512, Riverside, CA 92502). Questions? Call 951-955-8922. Claims are reviewed and processed within 60 days.
