Putting Money on an Inmate's Account at St. Tammany Parish Jail: Online, Money Order, or Walk-In

St. Tammany Parish Jail accepts funds three ways: online through the electronic payment portal, by mailing a money order, or through the portal's walk-in retail cash option. The best choice depends on what you have available (a card, money order, or cash) and how quickly you need the deposit posted.

For the fastest option, go online. The Sheriff's Office recommends the Touchpay payment portal, which accepts and posts transactions 24/7, 365 days a year. No waiting for business hours.

• ✓ VISA branded credit/check cards
• ✓ MASTERCARD branded credit/check cards
• ✓ Walk-in retail (cash payments made locally) supported through the same Touchpay portal

Prefer to mail a money order? Send it to: P.O. Box 3135, Covington, Louisiana 70434.

• ✓ Inmate name
• ✓ Dorm number
• ✓ Bed or cell number

If you'd rather pay cash in person, the Touchpay portal supports walk-in retail cash payments at local retailers. This lets you skip cards and money orders while still using the same payment system.

Before sending money, you'll need the inmate's ID number. If you don't have it, the Sheriff's Office directs you to JailATM.com to look it up.

Don't confuse money deposits with other mail rules. For non-legal and non-commercial mail, the facility requires it be sent electronically through JailATM or mailed to JailATM-St. Tammany Parish Jail at 2252 Tower Drive Suite 108-251, Monroe, LA 71201. Print the inmate's name and ID clearly on anything you mail to that address.

1. Pick your deposit method - Use the online payment portal, mail a money order to a pre-arranged account, or choose the portal’s walk-in retail cash option.
2. Match the method to what you have - Online works well when you have a card, mail is for money orders, and walk-in retail is for cash payments made locally through the portal.

1. Confirm the inmate’s ID and name - If you do not know the inmate’s ID number, go to JailATM.com to look it up.
