How to Send Money to Maury County Jail, TN (TN)
Want to help someone at Maury County Jail buy commissary items? There are a few approved ways to add money to their account. Here are your options and the details that matter most.
You can add money to an inmate's commissary account at Maury County Jail three ways: online, by phone, or at a kiosk in the jail lobby. Online deposits go through the VendEngine website using a debit or credit card. To deposit by phone, call 855-VendEng (836-3364) with a debit or credit card handy. The lobby kiosk at the jail accepts both cash and debit/credit card payments.
Phone, online, and kiosk deposits are all processed through an electronic funds company. Fees are displayed during the deposit process. The commissary itself doesn't set these fees, collect them, or field questions about them.
Maury County Jail also accepts U.S. Postal money orders for commissary deposits. Make the money order payable to Chilton Vending, and clearly print the recipient's name, ID number, and county on the memo line. Money orders with all required information are deposited by 8 p.m. each Monday and Thursday. If anything is missing, the money order gets returned to the sender. There's no fee for money order deposits.
Steps
- ✓ Deposit online through the VendEngine website using a debit or credit card.
- ✓ Deposit by phone by calling 855-VendEng (836-3364) using a debit or credit card.
- ✓ Deposit in person at the kiosk in the Maury County Jail lobby using cash or a debit/credit card.
