How to Send Money to an Inmate at Jefferson County Jail

Don't plan on dropping off money at the reception desk. Jefferson County Jail doesn't accept cash or money orders in person. The only option is to send funds through the mail.

All inmate funds at Jefferson County Jail must be mailed as a money order. Showing up with cash or a money order expecting to hand it to someone at the desk won't work. Get your money order ready before you send anything.

• ✓ Send funds as a money order (not at the reception desk)
• ✓ Keep each money order at $50.00 or less
• ✓ Plan to mail it in with the inmate listed “in care of” the Sheriff’s Office (details below)

Mail the money order to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, addressed "in care of" the inmate. The address is 16001 State Route 7, Steubenville, Ohio 43952.

1. Get a money order: This facility requires funds to be mailed as a money order.
2. Address it correctly: Make sure it is being sent to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, “in care of” the inmate.
3. Mail it to the right place: 16001 State Route 7, Steubenville, Ohio 43952.

The big rule to know: each money order is capped at $50.00. If you need to send more than that, call the jail first to ask whether they accept multiple money orders and how they want them packaged before you mail anything.
