Three Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Macomb County Jail (and the $400 max)
Need to put money on someone's account at Macomb County Jail? You have three options: Touchpay, JPay, or the kiosk in the jail lobby. Here's how each one works—plus what you need to know about the $400 maximum balance.
You can add money to an inmate's account at Macomb County Jail through Touchpay, JPay, or the lobby kiosk. One thing to keep in mind: accounts max out at $400, so check the balance before depositing.
Touchpay is your most flexible option. It's available 24/7, so you can make a deposit anytime - even late at night or on weekends.
If you want to use Touchpay by phone, call 866-232-1899. When the system asks, use Facility Locator Number 748043 so your deposit is routed to Macomb County Jail.

Prefer using your phone? Some JPay services are available through their smartphone app. If the app doesn't have what you need, calling is a reliable backup.
Already at the facility? You can deposit money in person using the kiosk in the Macomb County Jail lobby. It accepts both cash and credit cards.
No mail deposits: Macomb County Jail does not accept money sent by mail.
Inmate accounts at Macomb County Jail cap at $400. Any deposit that would push the balance over that limit can get rejected, so check the current balance before sending money.
- ✓ Check the current account balance before you deposit so you don’t accidentally go over the $400 maximum.
- ✓ If you’re trying to help with ongoing needs, send smaller amounts more often instead of one large deposit.
- ✓ If you’re unsure how close the account is to the limit, stagger deposits so the balance has time to drop below $400 before you add more.
If your deposit isn’t going through or you have questions about inmate funds, call 586-307-9542.
The inmate funds line is staffed Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Outside those hours, you'll need to wait until the next business day.
