Before you send anything through the U.S. Postal Service, here's how this facility handles regular (non-privileged) mail. Non-privileged general mail is processed off-site, then delivered to the inmate electronically on password-protected kiosks or tablets. Your letter or card won't be handed over as a physical piece of mail. Instead, it shows up as a digital delivery on their device.

Sending money is usually straightforward once you have the right identifier for your loved one. Here are the deposit options and exact steps to get it done.
Worried about your loved one's health or mental health while they're in custody? The Medical Information Form lets you get important background into the jail's medical records. It gives the medical team something concrete to work with—especially useful when there's a psychiatric history, past treatment, or medication concerns you want staff to know about. At Johnson County Jail, a VitalCore Health Strategies physician or psychiatrist makes all medical and mental health treatment decisions, including prescriptions. They'll review and verify what's on the form before deciding what care is appropriate. That's why details and accuracy matter. One thing to keep in mind: submitting the form doesn't guarantee a specific medication or treatment will be provided. It's information for clinical review, not a way to "order" care. But it can be a valuable starting point for the medical team making decisions.
