How to Send Money to Facility

Money orders go to a specific address: Lexington County Detention Center, P.O. Box 2019, Lexington, SC 29071. This same address handles legal mail, court documents, bank statements, and pre-approved publications. Always include the incarcerated person's full name and ID number so the funds get credited to the right account.

Prefer to deposit electronically? The Lexington County Sheriff's website has an Inmate Accounts section where you can add funds online. Start there for electronic deposits to Lexington County Detention Center.

Note: Fees, accepted payment methods, processing times, and cutoff times vary. Confirm those details directly with the facility before sending money.

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ If you are sending a money order by mail, address it to: Lexington County Detention Center, P.O. Box 2019, Lexington, SC 29071
  • ✓ Include the inmate’s name and ID number on the money order/envelope so it is applied to the right account
  • ✓ If you want to deposit funds online, go to the Lexington County Sheriff’s website and look for the Inmate Accounts section to start the deposit process

Reminder: If the inmate’s name and ID number are missing, your money order can be delayed or credited incorrectly.

Before sending money, verify a few things to avoid delays or lost funds. Confirm the current mailing address (including the P.O. Box format) and whether money orders are still accepted. Check what fees apply, which payment types work for online deposits, and how long deposits typically take to post. Also ask about any restrictions on who can send funds or limits on deposit amounts.

  1. Go to the Lexington County Sheriff’s website: Start from the official site to avoid scams and outdated instructions.
  2. Find the Inmate Accounts section: Look for the option that mentions depositing funds to an inmate’s financial account.
  3. Follow the posted instructions (or call for clarification): If anything is unclear, confirm the rules before you submit payment.
