How to Send Money to Someone at Sacramento County Main Jail (TouchPay & money orders)
Sending money to someone at Sacramento County Main Jail is straightforward once you pick a method and have the right ID numbers. Here's how deposits work and what timing details affect commissary.
Sacramento County Main Jail uses TouchPay for most deposits. You've got options: the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby, TouchPay Direct by phone at 1-866-232-1899, TouchPay online, or in person at TouchPay retail locations. Whichever method you pick, the system asks for the same basic details to route the money correctly.
- ✓ Main Jail Facility Location Number: 257501
- ✓ Inmate’s name
- ✓ Inmate’s X-reference number
For TouchPay deposits to Sacramento County Main Jail, you'll need three things: the Facility Location Number 257501, the incarcerated person's name, and their X-reference number. Have all three ready before you start - it prevents delays and ensures the money goes to the right account.
Timing matters if you're trying to fund commissary. Deposits must hit the trust account before 7:00 a.m. on Sunday to count for that week's order - this applies to both Sacramento County Main Jail and RCCC. Money that arrives after the cutoff won't be available until the next cycle.
Prefer to mail funds? Sacramento County only accepts money orders - no cash, no checks. Send it to: Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center IWF Office, 12500 Bruceville Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95757. The money gets deposited within 24 hours of receipt.
Heads up: No money releases happen on weekends or holidays. Plan accordingly if you're timing funds around a release date.
