How to Send Money to Washington County Detention Center, NC (NC)

For the quickest, most reliable instructions, call Washington County Detention at 252-793-1107. Ask what deposit options they currently accept, what information they need about the person in custody, and whether there are any limits or hold times.

If you need to speak to the Sheriff’s Office, their posted business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. They are closed Saturday, Sunday, and holidays, so plan your call or in-person questions around those hours.

Washington County publishes a fee schedule labeled "Revised/Effective: July 1st, 2024." That document notes certain fees may be collected by the Sheriff's Department or the Finance Office. It's a useful reference if you're trying to understand what fees might apply, but it won't walk you through the detention center's deposit process step by step. You'll still want to confirm the specifics with the jail.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Call Washington County Detention at 252-793-1107 and ask what methods they currently accept for adding funds
• ✓ If you need the Sheriff’s Office, call Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm (closed weekends and holidays)
• ✓ Ask whether any fees apply to sending money and whether fees are handled through the Sheriff’s Department or the Finance Office

Before you send money, verify you have the right phone number and you are calling at a time someone can answer. Washington County Detention can be reached at 252-793-1107, and the Sheriff’s Office lists business hours as Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, closed weekends and holidays.

Fees are another place where people get caught off guard. Washington County's FY25 fee schedule (labeled "Revised/Effective: July 1st, 2024") states that some fees may be collected by the Sheriff's Department or the Finance Office. When you call, ask which fees apply specifically to putting money on an incarcerated person's account, and who collects them. That way you'll know what to expect.
