Inmate Funds

The money an incarcerated individual has upon admission is put into an incarcerated individual trust account. Family and friends can deposit money into an incarcerated individual's trust account. Incarcerated individuals can send funds from their account to a third party. They can send money out to family members, an attorney or to pay their bond. Upon release, any remaining funds are returned.

Note: After 10 days, money can only be sent out to a third party for payment to an attorney or bond payment.

Incarcerated individuals are able to use their trust accounts to fund tablet purchases and visits. Friends and family will no longer need to fund the tablets directly, but can add money to the incarcerated individual's trust account in the ways listed below.

How to Put Money in an Incarcerated Individual’s Trust Account

  • Deposit funds in person using the kiosks in the Jail lobby.
  • Send a money order* through the mail. The incarcerated individual’s DOC number must be written on the money order.
    • *Money orders that total over $100 are placed on a 10 business day hold.
  • Place funds by calling 1-800-483-8314, or through the Connect Network.
  • Go online to Jail ATM.
  • The Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  • The depositor needs to be on the incarcerated individual's visiting list or an emergency contact to leave funds.

Friends and family do not need to input a DOC number to an advance pay account. This account is tied to the family or friend's phone number and will allow calls to anyone at this facility as along as there funds in the account and the friends and family are on the individual's approved list.

Deposits to an incarcerated individual's trust account do require the DOC number to process payments. Friends and family members who have not previously made a trust payment must go online to www.connectnetwork.com to set up their friends and family account. The first payment must be done online. Future payments can then be made by calling the Connect Network customer service line, using the Connect Network website or mobile app.

Using Kiosks to Deposit Money into an Inmate's Account

All in-person deposits are made using kiosks in the jail lobby. The kiosks are available during Jail lobby hours from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. The kiosks accept cash, debit and credit cards. This system is provided through a contract with Keefe Commissary Network and charges a $3 fee on each transaction. Deposit limits are $300 cash and $50 on debit and credit cards.

Note: The Jail Cashier’s Office has no connection to the kiosks and cannot resolve any problems related to them.

Return of Funds After Incarceration

The Cashier’s Office is notified when released incarcerated individuals are waiting in the main lobby for their funds. All released incarcerated individuals with more than $20 will receive $10 in cash and the balance of their account in a check. In the evening after 5:00 pm, if the incarcerated individual has more than $500 on their account they will receive up to $20 cash and will need to come back to the jail the next business day to receive the balance.

We encourage released individuals to cash their check at the PNC bank located downtown on the corner of Grant Street and Forbes Avenue. This PNC branch accepts the jail armband as a form of identification to cash checks.
