Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Use the self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Hillsborough County Orient Jail uses Touchpay to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.
Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Booking Number in memo section of the Money Order.
Mail the Money order to:
Aramark
207 Kelsey Lane Suite "G"
Tampa, FL 33619
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.
Option 4 - Make an Inmate Deposit over the Phone
Touchpay will accept deposits over the phone with a debit or credit card. Call 866-232-1899.
To do this you will need the inmate's Booking Number, full legal name and Facility Locator Number - 233619.
Option 5 - Deposit Money for Digital Messaging
{facility_name-1} uses gettingout for sending photos, and sending and receiving messages from your inmate, including renting them a tablet they can use while in jail.
Deposit money for them on the gettingout website or by calling 866-516-0115.
