You will need a government ID to use the kiosk. The kiosk will not accept coins or dollar bills.
The Detention Lobby hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday – Friday, except on holidays.

    2. You may also make credit card deposits online at www.accesscorrections.com or via phone at 1-866-345-1884.

Once inmates are placed into housing, they may have access to tablet-like devices that will permit them to send and receive electronic messages similar to email.
