Morgan County Jail, AL

Visitation at Morgan County Jail is non-contact and handled online—no face-to-face visits. The jail's site says all visits are available through JailATM, but the facility FAQ also mentions scheduling video visits through VendEngine (CorrectPay). Since two different platforms are referenced, confirm which system the jail is currently using before you pay or book anything. Most county jail online visitation systems work the same way: create an account, schedule your visit in advance, and sign in on the day of your visit with a valid photo ID. Check the jail's official resources or contact the Sheriff's Office for current instructions.

Morgan County Jail uses JailATM for electronic mail and adding funds. Start by creating an account on JailATM, then use it to locate the inmate and send messages or make deposits. Phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging often coexist in Alabama facilities, but exact services depend on the facility and its approved vendors. For phone or remote video services, you'll typically need the inmate's booking identifier from the jail roster and a funded account before calls can go through. Keep privacy in mind: calls and many electronic messages are monitored or recorded. Charges depend on the billing option you select.

Starting April 1, 2025, Morgan County Jail's mail vendor will photocopy all incoming physical mail and deliver it electronically to the facility. Staff still review and approve everything. Legal mail is handled separately and continues to be delivered directly to inmates. Label every envelope clearly with the inmate's full first and last name (no initials), their inmate ID number, your full first and last name, and a complete return address. Include the correctional institution's full name—no abbreviations. Mail missing any required information gets rejected and discarded unopened. For reading material: only paperback books are allowed, and they must come directly from the seller. Inmates can keep up to two books in their housing area. Visitors cannot bring publications.

Morgan County Jail does not accept money orders, cash, or other certified funds through the mail or in person. To add funds, use the lobby kiosk at the facility or deposit online through JailATM. When someone is booked, any cash they have gets secured into a Sheriff's Office account and can be used for commissary purchases. Third-party deposits typically involve service fees, and processing speed varies by method. If you're depositing online, set up your account first and double-check the inmate's exact name and ID before submitting.
