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

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at 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.
Call Kay County Detention Center at 580-362-3393 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
