How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Overview
There are no facility-specific money deposit rules in available sources for Saline County Jail, so plan around common Kansas jail practices. You'll typically need the inmate's account or register number and an approved deposit channel: a lobby kiosk, an approved online or phone vendor, or a mailed cashier's check or money order. Handing cash directly to staff usually isn't allowed, so stick to the facility's approved options and use only the payment types that channel accepts. This helps you avoid delays or rejected deposits. If the inmate is temporarily housed at another facility, deposits may be held until they return, so confirm before sending money. Separately, the jail uses Smart Communications for remote video visitation through SmartInmate (this is visitation-related, not a confirmed deposit option).
