How to Send Money to Indio Jail, CA (CA)

Money you deposit goes into your loved one's commissary account. They can use it for snacks, hygiene products, phone cards, and writing supplies. Even a small deposit helps them stay connected and handle day-to-day needs while inside.

A separate issue: money collected or seized by the Sheriff's Office (from fees, services, or evidence) may be placed into an unclaimed fund account. The rightful owner has three years to claim it.
