Three Ways to Add Money to an Inmate's Account at Rowan County Detention Center

Which method works best depends on what you're depositing for - commissary, phone time, or just getting cash in quickly. The lobby has a 24/7 cash machine for in-person deposits. Prefer mail? Send a money order payable to "Rowan County Detention Center" or "RCDC." For online or phone deposits, commissary funds go through JailFunds, while phone time is handled separately through InmateSales.

The cash machine in the front lobby is your fastest in-person option. It's available 24/7, so you can deposit whenever works for you - even outside normal business hours. One thing to know: the machine only takes bills from $5 to $100. Bring the right denominations so you don't have to leave and hunt for change.

Mailing a deposit? Make the money order payable to "Rowan County Detention Center" or "RCDC." A different payee name can delay processing - staff may not be able to credit it to an inmate account.

Put the inmate’s name on the memo line of the money order. That memo line is what ties the money order to the correct person, so don’t leave it blank.

Include your name (the sender/purchaser) with the money order. If something goes wrong, having your info on file makes it easier for the facility to resolve the issue.

• ✓ Make the money order payable to “Rowan County Detention Center” or “RCDC”

1. Pick what you’re funding - use JailFunds for commissary, or InmateSales for phone time.
2. Deposit online or by phone - JailFunds: www.jailfunds.com or 855-836-3364; InmateSales: www.inmatesales.com or 877-998-5678.
3. Provide the inmate’s name and your payment details - that’s the key info these services use to apply the deposit.
4. Confirm the transaction - save your confirmation details in case you need to follow up.

Whatever method you choose, keep the details clean and consistent. Online and phone deposits only need the inmate's name. For mailed money orders, always include your name as the sender - it creates a clear record if anything needs to be sorted out later.
