How to Send Money to Yakima County Jail, WA (WA)

Yakima County Jail accepts inmate deposits only through TouchPay Online (website or mobile app) or the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby. No other methods work. Cash, personal checks, payroll checks, and money orders are all turned away.

One exception: tribal per-capita checks can be mailed to the facility. Mark the envelope "Attention: Inmate Accounts" and include the inmate's full name and booking number.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use TouchPay Online (website or mobile app) to deposit money into an inmate’s trust account.
• ✓ Use the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby as the in-person deposit option.
• ✓ Do not bring or send cash, personal checks, payroll checks, or money orders for deposits, they are not accepted.
• ✓ If you are sending a tribal per-capita check by mail, mark the envelope “Attention: Inmate Accounts” and include the inmate’s full name and booking number on the envelope.

1. Go to the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby. This is the only in-person deposit method listed by the jail.
