How to Send Money to Facility

Jefferson County Correctional Facility has telephones in the day rooms so inmates can stay in touch with families, attorneys, and others. That's relevant here because most money-related questions come down to coordination: confirming what the facility accepts, making sure you have the right person's information, and checking processing times before you send anything.

Jefferson County also offers a Vendor Direct Deposit Authorization form for direct deposit payments. The form asks for your bank name, account number, routing number, account type (checking or savings), and an email address for receiving invoice details.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ If you’re using vendor direct deposit, complete the Vendor Direct Deposit Authorization form with the bank name, account number, routing number, account type (checking or savings), and an email address.
• ✓ If you need to coordinate details or confirm the right process, ask about using the day room telephones (they’re intended to provide access to families, attorneys, and others).

Before you send anything, make sure you have the current version of the Vendor Direct Deposit Authorization form and know where to submit it. Submission options can vary, so confirm the accepted delivery method, who it should be addressed to, and any processing timeline you need to plan around.

It's also worth checking how the day room telephones work in practice: when calls can be made and whether there are specific procedures for family or attorney communication. If you're trying to line up a payment or confirm receipt, understanding the phone process can save you a lot of back-and-forth.
