    • Inmates under the age of 18 are not searchable with the inmate lookup tool
    • Information on the inmate lookup tool is updated every 15 minutes, and is subject to change and verification

    5. How do I put money on an inmate’s books?

    Please Note: Funds applied to an inmate’s account may be used for medical co-pays, booking fees, garnishments, and commissary items, such as snacks, cards, or games. The money is applied to any outstanding fees before commissary items may be purchased.

    Once funds are deposited on an inmate’s account, the funds become the property of the inmate. No money is returned to the depositor unless the funds are released to an individual by the inmate.

    There are several ways to get money to an inmate. For each of these options, you should be prepared with either the inmate’s jail identification number or full name and date of birth.
