How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send money to someone at Saint Louis County Jail, the county's online cash accounts page directs you to an external payment vendor and includes a notice that the county may not control the linked site's content. The referenced vendor, Access Corrections, advertises fast, secure ways to send funds and handle court-ordered financial obligations. Access Corrections also says you can post bail and make parole or probation payments remotely, helpful if you can't pay in person. For planning purposes, jails commonly offer deposit options like lobby kiosks, approved online vendors, JPay transfers, and mailed money orders or cashier's checks. Kiosk and card payments often post quickly, while mailed deposits usually take a few business days. Check the vendor for exact steps, required IDs, and posting times.

Sending money starts on the county's Cash Accounts page, which redirects you to a third-party payment site. When you see that "you're leaving our site" warning, slow down. Confirm you're on the right vendor page and save your receipts.
When you use St. Louis County's Cash Accounts page to add money for someone in jail, you'll be redirected to a separate, non-county website to complete the transaction. Here's how to navigate that process carefully and verify what the vendor claims before you pay.
The county directs you to an external payment vendor linked from its cash accounts page. Access Corrections advertises online deposits for commissary and court-ordered obligations. Follow its sign-up and payment steps, entering the required inmate ID details. Since the county says it may not control the linked site, confirm fees, timing, and instructions on the vendor's site before paying.
Yes. Access Corrections states users can post bail and make parole or probation payments remotely. Before submitting funds, verify any case-specific requirements and accepted payment types on the vendor's site.
No. The county’s cash accounts page includes a notice that it may not control the content of the external site it links to. Treat the vendor as a separate service and rely on its terms and help resources for payment policies and disputes.
Getting in touch with someone at Saint Louis County Jail means using the jail's approved phone, account, and mail systems. Start with the county's own pages, then follow the links they provide to outside services.
Before you send money to someone at Saint Louis County Jail, pay attention to where the county actually sends you. On St. Louis County pages like "Cash Accounts," "Inmate Phone Usage," and "Mail," you'll see a notice that you're being directed away from the county website. The county may not own or control the linked site. What does this mean for you? The actual payment and account details are handled by a separate provider. Your best move is to follow the official county page to the outside site, then carefully confirm the rules and fees on that provider's page before you pay.
