How to Deposit Money for Someone at Jackson County Jail (kiosk, reception, mail, and bail)
Getting money to someone at Jackson County Jail depends on what you're paying for—bail works differently than adding funds to their account. Here's how each option works and what to do to avoid delays.
Jackson County Jail accepts a few specific methods for getting money to an Adult in Custody (AIC). The lobby kiosk is the fastest option for account deposits - it takes cash 24 hours a day. You can also make a non-bail cash deposit at the reception counter, but only on visiting days and only after completing your visit. Sending funds by mail? You'll need a money order or cashier's check with the payee written exactly how the jail requires. Get it wrong and it comes back. Bail is a separate process entirely: during business hours, you post it in cash at the courthouse. After hours, use the lobby kiosk or pay online with a credit or debit card.
The lobby kiosk at Jackson County Jail is the simplest way to add cash to an AIC's account. It's available 24 hours a day - no need to wait for visiting days or business hours.
After-hours bail: If you’re trying to post bail after hours, you can do it with a credit/debit card through the secure CorrectPay website, or you can post bail at the lobby kiosk using a credit card or cash.
Want to deposit cash at the reception counter instead? There's a catch. Non-bail cash deposits are only accepted on visiting days, and only from visitors who've completed a visit. If that's not you, head to the lobby kiosk.
Sending money by mail requires a money order or cashier's check. Make it payable exactly like this:
Posting bail during the week? You'll need to do it at the courthouse. Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, bail must be posted in cash at the Justice Building, 100 S. Oakdale, Medford, Oregon.
Need to post bail after hours? You have two options: pay by credit or debit card through the secure CorrectPay website, or use the lobby kiosk with a credit card or cash. The kiosk works well if you'd rather handle it in person.
Quick Dos Donts
- ✓ Use the lobby kiosk if you need to deposit cash to an AIC’s account any time (it’s available 24 hours per day).
- ✓ Make mailed money orders/cashier’s checks payable exactly as: “Jackson County Jail for (insert AIC’s name)” - anything else will be returned.
- ✓ Don’t send a personal check; they aren’t accepted unless it’s written by a local attorney on their trust account.
