Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Johnson County Jail?

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Johnson County Jail uses CommissaryDeposit.com 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.

Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to 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 478-864-4003 first to ask Johnson County Jail if this option is still available.
