About the Uintah County Jail
In Uintah County the local Sheriff is responsible for the law enforcement in the area, and they are also the agency that runs the local jail. It is a small facility with a capacity of under 100 inmates, and they offer all necessary medical care, meals, clothing, bedding, and security needs for each of those inmates. The facility has been in operation since the mid-1990s and includes the Securus Technologies systems for maintaining contact between inmates and their support systems outside of the jail. It is fully staffed around the clock to ensure that any emergencies are responded to quickly and that inmates are safe throughout their stay, and it is situated within the Public Safety Complex to allow for limited transportation needs of all inmates. To receive a phone call or video visit from an inmate it is necessary to create an account at SecurusTech.net and apply for visit rights, connecting to the inmate that you wish to visit. With this program people outside of the jail can add money to the account of the inmate they are connected to and will then be able to receive phone calls from the inmate throughout the day, during the free hours that the phones are available, and video visits that can be scheduled through the system or in some cases can be instigated on demand by the inmate. This system allows for a wider range of options for contact and increased hours of availability. Visiting hours are dependant upon the inmate specifically and their other requirements or tasks and will be available to anyone who creates an account and is approved access to both phone calls and visits.

Inmate Money Accounts

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

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

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Uintah County Jail uses Jail ATM 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.

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. Call the Uintah County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
