How to send messages, photos, and packages
Sending mail or money to someone at Jackson County Detention is straightforward once you know the rules. For mailed funds, use a Postal Money Order payable to Jackson County Detention Center. Write the inmate's name and sequence number on the memo line. Cash and personal or payroll checks won't be accepted. The Detention Center's main window doesn't take funds either—deposits go through online, phone, kiosk, or mail. The facility also offers Securepak family packages and Access Corrections trust-fund deposits. All incoming mail gets screened for contraband, so include a clear return address and proper postage to avoid rejection.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
