Putting Money on an Inmate's Account at Midland County Jail: Kiosk, Online, and Phone Options

Midland County Jail accepts inmate account deposits three ways: at the lobby kiosk, online through TouchPay, or by phone through TouchPay. For in-person deposits, head to the kiosk machine in the Bonding (lobby) area. Knowing what doesn't work saves you a wasted trip. Don't mail or drop off money orders, personal cash, or checks - the jail won't accept them for inmate account deposits. Stick to the kiosk or TouchPay (online/phone) to make sure the money actually posts.

Fees are tiered by deposit amount, and the same base schedule applies whether you use the lobby kiosk, phone (TouchPay IVR), or online. Here's the breakdown: $0–$20 costs $3.95, $20.01–$100 costs $4.95, and $100.01–$200 costs $5.95.

You'll find the deposit kiosk in the Bonding (lobby) area. It's available during normal Central Detention Facility lobby hours - but those hours can change, so confirm before you make the trip.

Made a deposit online or by phone and it's not showing up? Contact TouchPay customer support first. The number listed for TouchPay deposits is 1-866-232-1899. Another Midland County Jail FAQ lists 866-204-1603 as a TouchPay support line. Since both appear in official materials, try 1-866-232-1899 first. Use 866-204-1603 as a backup if you can't get through.

Practical Tips Reduce Fees

• ✓ If you’re able, make fewer deposits in larger amounts so you don’t pay the base fee repeatedly for multiple small loads.
• ✓ Before you submit a payment, double-check which fee tier your deposit amount falls into ($0–$20, $20.01–$100, or $100.01–$200) so you’re not surprised at checkout.
• ✓ Since the base fee schedule is the same for kiosk, phone, and web deposits, pick the method that’s easiest for you (for example, avoiding an extra trip) rather than assuming one channel is cheaper.
