How to Send Money to Jackson County Detention Center (MS)

You can fund an inmate's commissary account at Jackson County Detention Center through the TouchPay website. Before you start, gather a few things: the Facility Locator Number 239501, the inmate's identification number, and the inmate's name. Having all of that ready speeds up the deposit and helps you avoid accidentally posting money to the wrong person.

Prefer to pay in person? There's a kiosk in the ADC lobby you can use. Accepted payment methods for commissary funding include Visa, MasterCard, debit card, and electronic check. Cash is also accepted, but only at the lobby kiosk (not online). Money orders and cashier's checks are not accepted for commissary payments, so stick with one of the approved card or electronic options, or bring cash if you're depositing at the kiosk.

1. Go to TouchPay: Start the deposit using the TouchPay website.
2. Enter the facility locator number: Use Facility Locator Number 239501 (Jackson County Adult Detention Center).
3. Enter the inmate’s details: Provide the inmate identification number and the inmate’s name.
4. Choose a payment method and submit: Use one of the available electronic payment options listed for commissary funding (card or electronic check).

1. Go to the ADC lobby kiosk: Use the kiosk located in the Adult Detention Center lobby.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts: Enter the inmate information as requested.
3. Pay using an accepted method: The kiosk accepts cash for in-person deposits, and other listed payment methods include card and electronic check.

If your goal is helping with phone calls, here's something worth knowing: funds deposited to an inmate's commissary account can be used to add money to that inmate's NCIC phone account. If that's what you're after, confirm the process when you make the deposit so you know exactly how the funds will be applied.

What to Verify

• ✓ Confirm which card types are currently accepted (Visa, MasterCard, and debit card are listed).
• ✓ Confirm whether cash is still accepted only at the ADC lobby kiosk.
• ✓ Confirm money orders and cashier’s checks are still not accepted for commissary payments.

• ✓ Verify the Facility Locator Number for Jackson County Adult Detention Center is still 239501.
• ✓ Confirm exactly what inmate information TouchPay requires (inmate ID number and name) and whether it has to match a specific format.

Since commissary funds can be used to load an inmate's NCIC phone account, it's worth asking a few questions before you deposit, especially if timing matters. Find out whether there are delays, limits, or specific steps the inmate needs to take to move money from commissary to their phone account.
