How to Contact an Inmate at Simpson County Detention Center, KY (KY)

Start with the jail's website if you want to stay in touch with someone at Simpson County Detention Center. The site shows that family and visitors can pay for inmates' phone calls online, which is often the quickest way to keep calling options funded. You'll also find options to make commissary deposits and order items like gift baskets. Need to handle financial obligations tied to the jail? The site notes that past-due jail fees can be paid online too. What you won't always see upfront are the fine details: exact fees, processing times, or which company handles the service behind the scenes. Take a quick verification step before you pay for phone time, place a commissary order, or submit a fee payment.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Go to the Simpson County Detention Center website and look for the inmate information or family/visitor options.
• ✓ Use the site’s option to pay for inmate phone calls.
• ✓ Use the site’s ordering tools to make commissary deposits or order gift baskets.
• ✓ If you need to resolve jail-related balances, use the site’s online option to pay any jail fees, including past-due fees.

1. Identify the service provider (for example, if CorrectPay is listed) and confirm which services it supports for this facility.
2. Choose the specific service you need (phone time, commissary deposit, gift baskets, or other communication options) and follow the provider’s prompts for that service.
3. Complete the payment using the provider’s instructions, then save your confirmation details in case you need help later.

Before you send money or place an order, verify what Simpson County Detention Center actually has turned on. The jail website indicates you can pay for phone calls and handle commissary-related purchases like deposits and gift baskets. It also mentions paying past-due jail fees online. These are useful starting points, but they won't tell you the current vendor, the fee schedule, or rules that may apply to your loved one's account. If a third-party provider is involved, confirm which services are available for this facility. Some providers list a full menu of options (phone time, video visits, messaging, commissary deposits, gift baskets) while warning that not every option is offered everywhere. You'll also want to confirm payment methods, any fees (including for past-due balances), and how long it takes for a payment or order to show up. Ask whether there are restrictions that can block purchases or communication funding. Account holds, booking status, or other limits tied to the person's housing or eligibility can all cause problems. A quick check can prevent a rejected order or a payment that doesn't apply the way you expected.

• ✓ Confirm the vendor name listed on the Simpson County Detention Center website for phone and commissary-related services.
• ✓ Confirm which services that vendor supports for this facility (phone time, commissary deposits, gift baskets, and any other communication tools).
• ✓ Confirm accepted payment methods and any limits that apply.
• ✓ Ask about processing times, holds, and any requirements to order commissary or gift baskets.
• ✓ Get the facility or vendor troubleshooting contact path you should use if a payment or order does not post correctly.
