How to Send Money to Someone at Morgan County Adult Detention Center
Putting money on someone's account at Morgan County Adult Detention Center comes down to three options: the lobby kiosk, Access Corrections online, or phone deposits. Here's how each method works—and what payment types the jail won't accept.
Morgan County Adult Detention Center accepts deposits three ways: in person at the lobby kiosk, online through Access Corrections, or by phone at (866) 345-1884. Stick to these options for commissary and day-to-day needs. Money orders and checks won't be accepted for inmate funds.
Note: The facility points families to Access Corrections as the vendor for sending money.
Prefer handling things in person? Head to the facility lobby and use the kiosk to deposit funds. The jail's website doesn't specify kiosk hours or accepted payment types, so call ahead before making the trip. You don't want to show up with the wrong form of payment.
Tip: Keep your kiosk receipt until you’re sure the deposit posted to the correct person’s account.
For online deposits, the jail uses Access Corrections. Create an account (or sign in), select the facility, and enter the person's information - typically their name and booking number. Confirm everything looks right, complete the payment, and save your confirmation.
Double-check: Use the official Access Corrections site and verify the inmate’s identifying details (like name/booking number) before you submit a deposit.
Phone deposits are another option. Call (866) 345-1884 with the inmate's name and booking number ready so the funds land in the right account.
Not accepted for inmate funds: The facility states that money orders or checks will not be accepted when you’re adding money to an inmate’s funds.
Inmate funds (for commissary purchases) and incarceration board bills are two different things. The facility's website separates them clearly: board bills go through the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, and they don't have a credit card system for those payments.
- ✓ Cash, check, or money order are accepted for incarceration board bills
- ✓ Put the case number in the memo so the payment is credited to the correct case
Watch the difference: Checks and money orders aren’t accepted for inmate funds, but they are listed as acceptable for board bills paid through the Sheriff’s Office - confirm what you’re paying before you send a check or money order.
