Inmate Finances  

Upon incarceration, all cash in an inmate’s possession will be deposited into an account specifically for each inmate. Any other items that may hold a monetary value, such as debit cards, credit cards, personal checks, etc. will be placed in the inmate’s personal property.  

The money that is deposited can be used to purchase commissary, make phone calls and cover fees that are deducted by the facility for expenses such as the daily housing fee, medical charges, etc. Money on the account can also be released to an outside friend or family member by request of the inmate, through the completion of a funds release form.  

Once an inmate is released from the facility, any balance remaining will be returned to the inmate in the form of a check through Inmate Accounts. This check can be picked up during normal business hours (listed below) or the inmate can choose to have the funds mailed to an address of their choice. If an inmate is released outside of normal business hours, the inmate can return to the facility to collect the check during business hours. To pick up a check from Inmate Accounts, you will need a Photo ID. This is to ensure that funds are being released to the proper individual.
