Inmates will be categorized and placed in the least restrictive housing available, taking into consideration the safety of staff, inmates, and the public. This classification process involves assessing various risk factors, which may include, but are not limited to: (A) the nature of their current offense or conviction; (B) their history of previous offenses; (C) any past incidents of escape; (D) their disciplinary record within the institution; (E) prior convictions; (F) substance abuse issues related to alcohol and/or drugs; and (G) stability factors.
It is important to note that the classification criteria do not consider race, ethnicity, or religious preference as determining factors. These elements are not taken into account when determining the appropriate housing and management of inmates within the facility. The focus is solely on individual risk factors and the overall goal of maintaining a safe and secure environment while ensuring the well-being and successful rehabilitation of inmates.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Jones County Jail?
There are three choices for putting money on an inmate's books:
Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment.
Jones County Jail has a Tiger Kiosk in the Lobby that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
If you can't get your questions answered online call the Jones County Jail at 325-823-3201.
Choice 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Jones County Jail and others often use a private company 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.
Go to the online site for depositing funds. You will need to register an account, which is free to do and use a debit/credit card for the deposits.
Choice 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.
Call Jones County Jail at 325-823-3201 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
Call 325-823-3201 to ask facility personnel who to make the money order out to, and where to send it.
