How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Shelby County Jail accepts cash deposits through a Lobby Kiosk in the video visitation area. The kiosk takes $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills, with a $3 fee per transaction. Paying a cash bond? You'll need a money order or cashier's check made payable to Mary Harris, Clerk of Court. Beyond the on-site kiosk, third-party vendors typically offer online, phone, or retail cash-pay options—each with their own processing fees and posting times. Whichever method you choose, double-check the incarcerated person's name and ID and follow the deposit instructions carefully so the funds land in the right account.
