How to Send Money to Orange County Jail (TX)
Sending money to someone at Orange County Jail is straightforward once you have the right info. Here's how deposits work and the fastest ways to add funds to an inmate's account.
Deposits typically post to the inmate's account within 48 hours. If you're trying to make sure someone can buy essentials right away, factor in that processing time.
For a deposit to be accepted, it must be payable to the inmate and include the inmate’s jail number. You also need to include the sender’s name and address on all deposit items, with one exception: government checks.
If you are picking up money released from an inmate’s account, bring a valid driver’s license or state identification card. Without valid ID, you can be turned away when trying to receive inmate money.
Money releases from an inmate account are limited. Inmates can request one release per incarceration (up to the amount deposited during their arrest), and they must keep at least $30 in their account. Property and money release hours (all facilities except BRC, bondsmen, and attorneys) are: Tuesday evenings 7:15 pm to 8:45 pm; Wednesday mornings 7:15 am to 8:45 am; Saturday and Sunday mornings 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (noon); and Saturday and Sunday evenings 7:15 pm to 8:45 pm.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Use ConnectNetwork to deposit funds online (Facility: Orange County FL, Site ID: 196)
- ✓ Or deposit by phone by calling 888-428-1845
- ✓ When prompted, enter the inmate’s booking number (book/jail number) and the inmate’s last name and first name
- ✓ Double-check that you are using the correct inmate identifier before submitting the payment
- ✓ Send money orders separately and address them to: Inmate Fiscal Department, P.O. Box 4970, Orlando, FL 32802-4970
- ✓ Write the inmate’s name and booking number on the envelope
- ✓ Write the inmate’s name and booking number on the money order for processing
- ✓ Make the deposit item payable to the inmate, and include the inmate’s jail number
- ✓ Include the sender’s name and address on the item (except government checks)
Once you send or submit a deposit, expect it to post within about 48 hours. If the funds don't appear immediately, that processing window is usually why.
Verify before you pay: Confirm any ConnectNetwork fees and availability. Double-check the current property and money release hours before you go, since schedules can change.
Verify mailing details: Before mailing a money order, confirm the correct address and exact payee requirements. Bring a valid driver's license or state ID if you plan to pick up released funds.
