How to Send Money to Johnson County Adult Detention Center (KS)
Sending money to someone at Johnson County Adult Detention Center is straightforward once you know the system. Here are the approved deposit methods and the rules that trip people up most often.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office partners with Summit for commissary and inmate banking services. When someone is booked into the Adult Detention Center, an inmate account is created for them, and that is where deposits are applied and tracked.
Funds in the account cover everyday needs inside: commissary purchases, phone time, medical services, and other Detention Center programs. If you want to help with more than snacks, adding money lets them handle these costs as they come up.
Note: Staff will not accept cash, checks, or money orders for inmate account deposits. Expect a service charge when you add money.

Before making a trip or submitting payment, double-check a few details that can change. Confirm the current lobby kiosk hours (listed as 7:00 am to 10:00 pm daily) and look up the deposit fee for your chosen method. Also verify that staff still do not accept cash, checks, or money orders. That catches a lot of people off guard when they're trying to help quickly.
Tip: Vendor and deposit procedures can change. Confirm Summit is still the provider and that jailatm.com is still the correct online deposit option (support: (866) 335-2734, Option 1).
