Property & Money
When an inmate is processed into the center all personal items, except court papers, are taken from the individual.
These are labeled and stored in the property room. The inmate is issued center clothing and a hygiene kit. This kit
contains enough soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., to last the inmate until he/she can purchase commissary items.
We do not accept packages for inmates.
Inmates may
purchase special postage-paid envelopes and other items needed through the commissary. In order for an inmate to
release property, he/she must complete a Property Release Form naming the person approved to pick up their
property. Thirty days after an inmate's release unclaimed property will be disposed of according to center policy.
We do not accept personal clothing for the inmates to use in the detention center. We issue all clothing,
underclothing and footwear.
Cash, credit cards or debit cards can be used to deposit money into
an inmate’s account by using the kiosk located in the lobby. This
kiosk is open for use 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. A transaction
fee of $2.00 is deducted from the total amount of money deposited,
and a receipt is printed from the kiosk. The money is immediately
added to the inmate’s account.
Cash, money orders or cashiers checks are accepted through the
US Postal Service, and deposited into an inmate’s account Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
A receipt is given to the inmate the day after these types of deposits
are processed.
