Four Ways to Send Money to Someone at Indio Jail (and Kiosk Hours)

Deposited money goes into the inmate's account for commissary purchases: snacks, hygiene items, phone cards, writing materials. If you want to help someone stay stocked on basics or keep calling home, adding funds is the first step.

Access Corrections lets you add money online without visiting the jail in person. They charge a fee based on the transaction type, so check the fee details before submitting your payment.

Prefer to pay by phone? Call Access Corrections at 1-866-345-1884. The line is open 24/7, and you can pay with Visa or MasterCard. Live bilingual agents are available if you need help walking through the transaction.

1. Go to the kiosk in the Indio jail lobby. The lobby kiosk accepts deposits for Riverside County jail inmates who are in the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
2. Use cash or a credit card. The kiosk accepts both.
3. Know the Indio kiosk hours before you drive over. At Indio, money is accepted in the jail lobby Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 9:00 pm.

You can mail a U.S. Postal Money Order to deposit funds into an inmate's account. Write the inmate's name and booking number on the front so it gets credited correctly. Don't mail cash or personal checks. The jail won't accept them, and they'll be marked "Return to Sender" and sent back.

Tips

• ✓ If you mail a money order, use a U.S. Postal Money Order and write the inmate’s name and booking number on the front.
• ✓ Do not mail cash or personal checks. If they’re received, they’re marked “Return to Sender” and sent back.
• ✓ Bring $5 bills (or larger) if you plan to use the lobby kiosk. It does not accept anything smaller than a $5.00 bill.
• ✓ Do not count on getting change at the kiosk. It cannot make change.
• ✓ When you use Access Corrections online, expect transaction fees. Check the fee amount before you finalize the deposit.
