How can I put money on an inmate’s / detainee’s account?

Money may be deposited to the inmate’s / detainee’s account by family and friends for purposes of commissary purchases, phone calls, payment of bonds or fees for services. Payment into the inmate’s / detainee’s accounts can be completed at the ATM in the lobby of the St. Charles County Department of Corrections (SCCDOC) or online at the JailATM website.


The facility no longer will accept money orders; all payment must be made in cash at the ATM in the lobby or by debit or credit card. Any money orders mailed into the facility will be placed in the inmate’s / detainee’s property or returned to the sender. Those funds will not be credited to the inmate / detainee account. There is a processing fee associated with depositing money on an account. The JailATM kiosk does not dispense funds.
