How to Send Money to LUBBOCK COUNTY JAIL, TX (TX)

At Lubbock County Detention Center, "sending money" ties directly to specific services your loved one uses daily. Care packages go through Access Securepak. Messages go through SmartInmate and get delivered to the inmate's tablet. Messaging isn't free. It runs on SmartInmate credits in the inmate's account, so their ability to message depends on whether they have credits available.

Smaller property-related deductions can happen too. If an inmate's wristband is damaged or lost (and it's not normal wear and tear), a $10 charge may be deducted from the inmate trust fund account. Disciplinary action may also follow.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use Access Securepak to purchase a care package for delivery to the Lubbock County Detention Center.

• ✓ Create an account with SmartInmate to send messages to an inmate (they receive them via the tablet system).
• ✓ Make sure SmartInmate credits are available in the inmate’s account, since messages are paid from those credits.

• ✓ Keep tablet damage in mind: destroying a facility tablet results in a $300 charge deducted from the inmate’s trust fund account, and criminal charges may be filed.
• ✓ If that tablet charge can’t be paid, access to non-essential tablet services can be restricted until payment is received.

• ✓ Call (806) 775-7009 or (806) 775-7048 to confirm the current process and any delivery requirements before you place an order.

Before spending money, confirm you're using the right service for what you need. Care packages go through Access Securepak for delivery to Lubbock County Detention Center. Messages go through SmartInmate and arrive on the inmate's tablet.

Ask about current costs and how deductions work. SmartInmate messaging uses paid credits from the inmate's account. Some facility charges come out of the inmate trust fund account: $300 for a destroyed tablet, $10 for wristband damage or loss beyond normal wear and tear (which may also trigger disciplinary action). Confirm how these deductions are handled and whether unpaid tablet charges restrict access to non-essential tablet services.
