How to Send Money to Facility
The one confirmed way to add money to someone's account here is an in-person deposit at the JPAY kiosk in the Visitor Processing Area.
You can make deposits in person using the JPAY kiosk in the Visitor Processing Area. No other deposit methods (mail-in money orders, a lobby cashier window, a drop box, or online transfers) are confirmed here. Before making a trip, it's worth calling the facility to ask whether any alternatives are available.
Note: This guide only covers the one documented deposit method: the JPAY kiosk in the Visitor Processing Area. If you need a different option, check with the facility before sending money.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Go to the Visitor Processing Area.
- ✓ Use the JPAY kiosk to deposit money into the imprisoned person’s account.
Not sure where the kiosk is or what information you'll need? Ask staff in the processing area before you start the transaction. They can walk you through it.
What to Verify
- ✓ Confirm the JPAY kiosk is currently available and where it’s located in the Visitor Processing Area.
- ✓ Ask what forms of payment the kiosk accepts.
- ✓ Ask what information you need to make a deposit (for example, the person’s name and any required ID or identification number).
- ✓ Confirm when you can access the kiosk (hours, and whether it’s only available during visitation or check-in times).
- ✓ Ask if there are any limits on how much you can deposit in one transaction.
Reminder: Planning to send money another way (mail, online, or a lobby cashier)? Verify that the facility accepts it first. Also confirm any fees and how long it takes for funds to reach the account.
