How to Send Money to Sarpy County Jail (NE)
Here are the main ways to add money to someone's account at Sarpy County Jail, including fees to expect and what to double-check before you submit a payment.
Sarpy County Jail uses Securus to handle inmate account funding. If you want to help someone buy commissary items or pay for communication services, this is the system you'll use to add money to their account.
There are two main ways to deposit funds. You can go online through JailATM and pay with a credit card. Or you can visit the on-site kiosk at the Sarpy County Correctional Center, located in the 24-hour "Bonding/Release" entrance, and deposit using cash or a credit card.
Fees to expect: Cash transactions at the kiosk have a nonrefundable $3.25 fee. Credit card transactions have a nonrefundable fee of 10% or $3.25, whichever is greater.
You can also send funds by mail. The jail accepts money orders or cashier's checks sent through the U.S. Postal Service. Do not send cash through the mail. It won't be accepted.
Posting bond is a separate process from adding commissary money, but it also uses the kiosk in the 24-hour "Bonding/Release" entrance. You can post bond with cash or a credit card. Debit cards are not accepted. According to the jail, there are no fees for bonds paid with cash, while credit card payments are subject to the standard credit card transaction fee.
Note: Payment rules and fees can change. Before sending money (especially for large deposits), confirm the current options and accepted payment types with the jail and the payment service you plan to use.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Decide what you’re paying for: funds for commissary/communications go to the inmate account (through Securus), while bond is a separate payment.
- ✓ If depositing online, use JailATM and a credit card.
- ✓ For very large credit card deposits online (over $10,000), complete the required “ID Verification” step and provide the additional information requested.
- ✓ If depositing in person, use the kiosk in the 24-hour “Bonding/Release” entrance and pay with cash or a credit card.
- ✓ If mailing funds, send a money order or cashier’s check through the U.S. Postal Service. Do not mail cash.
- ✓ If posting bond at the kiosk, use cash or a credit card (debit cards are not accepted).
Fee reminder: Kiosk cash payments have a nonrefundable $3.25 fee. Credit card payments have a nonrefundable fee of 10% or $3.25, whichever is greater.
What to Verify
- ✓ Whether the jail is still using Securus and JailATM for inmate account funding, and whether any deposit steps have changed
- ✓ Where to enter (or find) the kiosk at the 24-hour “Bonding/Release” entrance before you drive over
- ✓ The exact nonrefundable fees that will apply to your transaction type (cash kiosk vs. credit card), since fees can impact what actually reaches the account
- ✓ Any current limits or extra ID requirements for large online deposits (including the ID Verification requirement for credit card deposits over $10,000)
- ✓ Whether debit cards are still not accepted for bond payments at the kiosk
Your best sources are the Sarpy County Correctional Center's official information pages for inmate accounts and bond money, along with the help sections inside the Securus and JailATM platforms. If anything looks different at checkout or on the kiosk screen, pause. Confirm with the jail office that handles accounts or bonding before you submit payment.
