Anderson County Juvenile Detention Center Information

With fewer than 30 beds to accommodate juvenile offenders, the Anderson County Juvenile Detention Center is a small temporary holding location for those waiting for their court date or detention hearing to occur. Upon intake each will be offered time to call their parent or guardian, a lawyer, and if they have an employer whom they must contact about their absence they may call them as well. Within the first 3 days they will have a detention hearing, which determines if they need stay in the detention until their adjudication, will be permitted to return home to wait for their court dates, or if they will be assigned to an alternative to detention. Alternatives to detention include probation, home supervision, community services, and even home monitoring with a GPS tracker. Each youth will be assigned to a housing pod that will be populated by others of the same gender, similar ages, and the seriousness of the charges or past behavior during detention. Housing pods will attend schooling together during the weekdays, eat meals together, have recreation time together, engage in social interactions and physical education, and more.

Inmate Money Accounts

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

How Do I put Money on an Inmate's Commissary Account in the Anderson 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 Anderson 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
Anderson 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 Anderson County Juvenile Detention Center address on this page, or to the address below if it is different than the facility address.
