How to Deposit Money for an Inmate at Waukesha County Jail (kiosk, mail & online)
You have three main options to add money to someone’s account at Waukesha County Jail: use the public lobby kiosk during normal visitation hours, mail in funds by certified/cashier’s check or money order, or deposit online (or by phone) through ConnectNetwork.
If you're visiting in person, the public lobby kiosk is your fastest option. It's available during normal visitation hours and designed specifically for adding money to an inmate's account.
- ✓ Cash
- ✓ MasterCard
- ✓ Visa
- ✓ Debit card
Kiosk fee schedule: The kiosk vendor charges a service fee per deposit: $5.00–$20.00 = $3.95 fee; $20.01–$100.00 = $4.95 fee; $100.01–$200.00 = $5.95 fee.
Mail Deposits
- ✓ Certified check
- ✓ Cashier’s check
- ✓ Money order
- ✓ No cash
- ✓ No personal checks
For mailed deposits, the payee line matters. Make the certified/cashier’s check or money order payable to: “Waukesha County Jail FBO Inmate’s Name.” Example: “Waukesha County Jail FBO John Doe.”
Mail your certified/cashier's check or money order to: Waukesha County Jail, Attention: Correctional Services Assistant, P.O. Box 0217, Waukesha, WI 53187-0217. This is the same address format the facility uses for legal mail, checks, and money orders.
Mailing warning: Waukesha County Jail will not accept inmate funds that are addressed to a specific inmate. Use the facility’s required payee wording (the “FBO Inmate’s Name” format) instead.
ConnectNetwork handles online and phone deposits. Go to ConnectNetwork.com or call 800-483-8314. Select Waukesha County Jail (site ID 206), and have the inmate's last name and date of birth ready - the system needs both to route the deposit correctly.
After your initial ConnectNetwork setup, future deposits are easier - just use the automated phone system at 888-988-4768.
Want to send a care package instead of cash? iCare lets friends and family purchase pre-made commissary packs for inmates in County Jail Pods 3 and 6–9 and the Huber Facility. Order through the iCare website.
Double-check how you address mailed funds: The jail won’t accept funds addressed to a specific inmate. Mail deposits to Waukesha County Jail, Attention: Correctional Services Assistant, P.O. Box 0217, Waukesha, WI 53187-0217, and use the required “Waukesha County Jail FBO Inmate’s Name” payee format.
- ✓ Sending cash
- ✓ Sending a personal check
- ✓ Mailing anything other than a certified check, cashier’s check, or money order
For ConnectNetwork deposits, have the inmate's last name and date of birth handy before you start. If anything doesn't match what's in the system, your deposit won't go through.
