How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Poinsett County Detention Center?

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Poinsett County Detention Center at 870-578-5411 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
