How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Jackson County Detention (4 accepted methods)

You can't hand cash to staff at Jackson County Detention. The jail accepts deposits four ways: online, by phone, at the kiosk in the visitation lobby, or by mail.

Jackson County Detention uses two platforms. Securepak handles family packages, while Access Corrections processes trust fund deposits - the money that goes directly onto an inmate's account. Have the inmate's name and sequence number ready so your deposit lands in the right account.

Prefer to do it by phone? Call 1-866-345-1884. You'll need the inmate's name and sequence number to complete the deposit.

Kiosk

• ✓ Use the kiosk located in the visitation lobby at the Detention.
• ✓ Deposit using cash or a credit card.
• ✓ If you’re putting money on for commissary through the kiosk, it posts immediately to the inmate’s account.

1. Buy a Postal Money Order - other forms of payment sent by mail won’t be accepted.
2. Make it payable to Jackson County Detention Center - write this exactly on the “Pay to” line.
3. Add the inmate’s name and sequence number on the memo line - this helps staff apply the funds to the correct account.
4. Do not mail cash or checks - no cash, payroll checks, or any other checks are accepted by mail.

After the Detention Center receives your money order, funds typically post to the inmate's account within 48 hours.

Tips

• ✓ Always include the inmate’s name and sequence number on your deposit (especially on mailed money orders) so it’s credited correctly.
• ✓ If you mail a Postal Money Order, plan for it to be posted within 48 hours of receipt.
• ✓ If the inmate needs commissary funds right away, the visitation-lobby kiosk posts deposits immediately.
