How to Send Money to Marion County Jail (OR)

To send funds to someone at Marion County Jail, you'll need the current, facility-approved process. Unfortunately, publicly available information doesn't list a money-transfer vendor, accepted deposit methods (online, phone, kiosk, or mail), deposit hours, or a fee schedule. One budget document from Marion County Community Corrections shows "Supervision Fees" at $0.00, but that line item doesn't explain how jail deposits work or what processing fees might apply.

For accurate instructions, call the jail directly and ask what they accept. The jail manager is Tad Larson, and you can reach the facility at (503) 588-5111. The office address is 4000 Aumsville Hwy SE, Salem, OR 97317.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call (503) 588-5111 and ask what methods are currently accepted to add money to an inmate’s account (and whether there are any method-specific rules).
• ✓ Ask whether any fees apply to deposits or processing, even if you have seen “Supervision Fees: $0.00” listed elsewhere.
• ✓ Confirm exactly what information you must provide for the person in custody (for example, full name and any ID or booking details the jail requires) and whether there are deposit limits or holds.

Before sending money, get the fee policy in plain language. The Marion County Community Corrections budget lists "Supervision Fees" at $0.00, but that doesn't tell you whether fees apply to jail accounts, commissary, or any outside payment processor the jail uses. When you call, ask directly: "Are there any fees to deposit money, and do the fees change depending on how I pay?"

You'll also want to confirm the basics that can cause deposits to be rejected or delayed: which deposit methods are accepted, what identification or sender information is required, what inmate details they need to apply the funds correctly, and how long it takes for money to post. The most reliable way to get answers is to call the jail manager, Tad Larson, at (503) 588-5111, or visit staff at 4000 Aumsville Hwy SE, Salem, OR 97317.
