About the Central Booking Facility

In Johnson County there are two facilities for the detention of offenders, this the 250-bed Central Booking Facility that provides booking services for everyone arrested in the county, and the Adult Detention Center.

It reopened after a closure for extensive renovations to bring the entire building up to date with improved security, better booking space and upgraded technology, and continued the direct supervision method that was new when the building was originally built.

This is now the cental booking location that processes each new arrest and will be the first stop for anyone who is arrested in the area.

During incarceration all inmates are provided with medical care, mental health support, the opportunity to finish a GED, meals and laundry, recreation activities and spaces, and access to learning materials and programs.

Counseling is offered and, in some cases, may be court ordered.

Contact with an outside support group is shown to improve mental health of those who are incarcerated, which improve security within the building, so Central Booking Facility provides access to mail via the post office and this can be addressed to:

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Central Booking Facility?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Central Booking Facility uses Jail ATM 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 to the Jail
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. Call the Central Booking Facility first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
