How to Contact an Inmate at Yakima County Jail, WA (WA)

Yakima County Jail uses Securus Video Visitation for remote visits. You can connect from home instead of traveling to the facility. Securus also has a mobile app if you prefer managing visits from your phone.

You can only add money to an inmate's trust account through TouchPay Online (website or mobile app) or at the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby. Cash, personal checks, payroll checks, and money orders are not accepted.

Pick the contact method that fits your situation: set up remote video visitation through Securus, schedule a visit by phone, send mail through the vendor address, or add funds through TouchPay. If you want to use messaging, check eligibility first. Some charges restrict access.
