Three Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Kankakee County Jail
Want to add commissary funds for someone at Kankakee County Jail (Jerome Combs Detention Center)? You have two options: online or the lobby kiosk. One older method—money orders—is no longer accepted.
Kankakee County Jail stopped accepting money orders and cashier's checks for commissary deposits back on August 1, 2015. If that's how you've done it before, you'll need to switch to the lobby kiosk or online deposit.
Heading to the Jerome Combs Detention Center in person? Deposits are handled through a kiosk in the lobby. Skip the money order - just bring the inmate's identifying details so you can pull up the right account.
- ✓ Inmate ID number
- ✓ Inmate date of birth (DOB)
Tip: Already at the detention center for a visit? The lobby kiosk is your in-person option. Have the inmate's ID number and date of birth ready before you start.
Prefer to handle it from home? Kankakee County directs people to make online deposits through SecurusTech. The Sheriff's Office inmate search helps you find the person in custody and links directly to SecurusTech's secure site for commissary deposits.
- Open the Sheriff’s Office inmate search - start where the county lists people in custody.
- Find the inmate - locate the correct person in the search results.
- Choose the deposit option - use the option provided to deposit funds.
- Complete the deposit on SecurusTech - you’ll be directed to SecurusTech’s secure site to finish the transaction.
Note: Online deposits go through SecurusTech's secure site - that's the county's official online path for adding commissary funds.
