How to Send Money
Funds may be added to inmates’ commissary accounts by money order. Money orders may be dropped off at the Sheriff’s Office at the black box outside the office. The box is checked daily, but commissary receipts are printed Wednesday and Friday events in order for inmates to be able to order for Sunday and Wednesday commissary.
