How to Add Money to an Inmate's Canteen Account at Jones County Adult Detention Center
Want to put money on someone's canteen account at Jones County Adult Detention Center? The county routes all deposits through AccessCorrections, so starting with the vendor is your fastest option.
Jones County directs families and friends to use the AccessCorrections website for canteen deposits. This means the process starts with the vendor's system - not the jail's front desk. The information you'll need and the steps you'll follow are all controlled by AccessCorrections.
Note: AccessCorrections promotes quick, secure transfers - helpful to know if this is your first time sending money.
Quick Checklist
- ✓ Your loved one’s full name (enter it exactly as it appears in the system)
- ✓ A payment method you can use online (typically a debit/credit card)
- ✓ A phone or computer so you can complete the deposit through AccessCorrections (the vendor controls what fields are required)
Head to the AccessCorrections website and look for the option to send money to an inmate (the exact wording varies). This is the route Jones County recommends for canteen deposits. If you want funds available quickly, start here rather than trying to deposit through the detention center directly.
AccessCorrections does more than canteen deposits. You can also use it to pay court-ordered fines, post bail, or make parole and probation payments. If you need to handle something beyond commissary funds, check AccessCorrections first - it might save you a few phone calls.
Hit a wall? Maybe the vendor site won't accept the facility, you can't find your loved one, or you're told to contact the facility for confirmation. Call the Jones County Adult Detention Facility (ADF) at 601-649-7502. For questions about juvenile housing, the Jones County Juvenile Detention Facility (JDF) line is 601-649-7500.
Need the physical address? The Jones County Adult Detention Facility is at 5178 U.S. Hwy. 11 in Ellisville. The Jones County Sheriff's Department main office is at 419 Yates Avenue in Laurel, next to the Jones County Courthouse at 415 North 5th Avenue.
Even with the county pointing you to the right vendor, the deposit details live in AccessCorrections' system. Before you hit submit, double-check that you've selected the correct facility and service. Review any timing or policy notes the site displays about sending money.
- ✓ The total fees you’ll be charged for the deposit
- ✓ How long it will take for funds to post to the canteen account
- ✓ What identifier is required (full name only vs. booking number/inmate ID)
- ✓ Whether bail payments through AccessCorrections are accepted for Jones County in your situation (the vendor advertises bail payments, but acceptance can vary by facility)
Tip: If AccessCorrections doesn't answer your question - or tells you to verify something with the facility - call ADF at 601-649-7502 (or JDF at 601-649-7500 for juvenile-related questions).
