That's the one detail that's clearly posted.

You can add funds electronically, by phone, at an on-site kiosk, or by mailing a cashier's check or money order. If you go the mail route, use a cashier's check or money order and include the inmate's name, ID number, and your sender information. Missing details can cause delays or returned payments.
