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

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Jackson County Jail at 785-364-2251 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
