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

How Do I put Money on an Inmate's Commissary Account in the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center to Purchase Phone Cards?

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

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use the NCIC self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center uses NCIC to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. NCIC 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.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.  Mail it to the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center address on this page, or to the address below if it is different than the facility address.
25 West 7th Street
Saint Paul, MN 55119

Option 4 - Make an Inmate Deposit over the Phone by calling 800-943-2189
