How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Newport News City Jail Annex?

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

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

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

Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Newport News City Jail Annex 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.
