How to Send Money to Yadkin County Jail, NC (NC)

Yadkin County Detention Center uses commissary accounts, which let inmates purchase approved items through the jail's commissary system. If your person hasn't set up a commissary account yet, money you send may not land where you expect. Confirm their account details first. The detention center partners with Kimble's as its commissary vendor. This matters because deposit options and how funds get credited are tied to Kimble's system, not a generic "cash at the jail" process.

The detention center supports two deposit options. First, there's an ATM kiosk in the detention center lobby. The lobby is open 24/7, so you can make deposits any time. Second, you can make electronic deposits through JailATM.com, also available around the clock. If you're used to sending money orders, don't do that here. Yadkin County Detention Center no longer accepts money orders for inmate accounts.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Confirm the inmate’s correct name and any ID information you will need for a deposit.
• ✓ Confirm they have a commissary account set up so funds can be applied properly.

1. Go to the detention center lobby. The facility states the lobby is open 24/7.
2. Use the ATM kiosk in the lobby. Follow the prompts to place money on the inmate’s account.
3. Keep your receipt. If there is a posting delay or a typo in the inmate information, your receipt is your proof of the transaction.

1. Use JailATM.com for an electronic deposit. The facility lists this as a 24-hour option for placing money on inmate accounts.
2. Enter the inmate information carefully. A small spelling error can send money to the wrong place or slow down posting.
3. Save your confirmation details. Screenshot or write down the confirmation number in case you need to follow up.

• ✓ If you are adding money so your person can make phone calls, use Pay-Tel Communications to set up an account and add funds.
• ✓ Treat phone funds as separate from commissary money, since they are handled through the phone provider.
