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

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Choice 2 - 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.

**Call 361-668-0341 first to ask Jim Wells County Jail if this option is still available.
