How to Send Money to Monmouth County Corrections, NJ (NJ)

You can bring a money order or certified check (made out to the inmate or detainee) during regular visiting hours. Need to drop off funds outside those hours? Bring the money order or certified check to booking instead. The facility doesn't accept other forms of payment in person. Credit card payments go through ConnectNetwork online.

If you use AdvancePay through ConnectNetwork, keep an eye on your account activity. Accounts go inactive and are subject to forfeiture after 180 consecutive days without use. Need a refund on an AdvancePay/ConnectNetwork balance? Call customer service at 877-650-4249.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Bring a money order or certified check made out to the inmate/detainee if you are going during regular visiting hours.
• ✓ If it is outside regular visiting hours, take the money order or certified check to booking instead.
• ✓ Do not plan to use other in-person payment types for deposits at visits or booking.
• ✓ If you are paying by credit card, use ConnectNetwork (online).

• ✓ For bail after normal court business hours and on weekends, be ready to post in cash or work with a bail bondsman.
• ✓ Do not bring property or checks to the Institution for after-hours bail posting.

• ✓ Use your AdvancePay/ConnectNetwork account at least once every 180 days so it does not become inactive and subject to forfeiture.
• ✓ If you need a refund, call AdvancePay/ConnectNetwork customer service at 877-650-4249.

Before making the trip, confirm the current visiting hours and booking procedures for money drop-offs. The facility accepts money orders or certified checks during regular visiting hours, and the same payment types at booking outside those hours. That said, hours and intake routines can change.

Using ConnectNetwork or AdvancePay? Double-check the current terms before loading money. The posted policy says accounts go inactive and are subject to forfeiture after 180 consecutive days of inactivity, with refunds handled through customer service at 877-650-4249. Also worth confirming that ConnectNetwork is still the required method for credit card payments to an inmate.

1. Call to confirm drop-off timing and acceptance. Ask whether money orders or certified checks are currently accepted at visits during regular hours, and at booking at other times.
2. Review your ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay account status. Make sure you understand the 180-day inactivity rule and keep your account active if you plan to use it.
3. Use the refund channel if needed. If you need money back from an AdvancePay/ConnectNetwork account, call customer service at 877-650-4249.
