I want to deposit money for an inmate @dane county jail in madison,wi

Hello, Lynn -

Most jails and prisons in the USA offer a wide range of commissary services to inmates.

From what I understand, an inmate initially needs a commissary account set up for herself / himself and money deposited in the account by a relative or friend.

You will need to contact the correctional institution where "your" inmate is housed and find out how to establish and add funds to the inmate's commissary account. At the same time, you will need to find out what commissary services are made available to your inmate. The services can include tablets, texting, and even video chats. Note: Not all correctional institutions in the USA provide such services, however. Most county jails, state prisons, and Federal prisons in the USA have links to information on services for inmates on their web pages.

One of the big providers of commissary services, including tablets and related services is JPay.com .There are other businesses which also offer commissary services for inmates.

The JPay website has an inmate search service, which you can use to determine if "your" inmate is housed at one of the institutions serviced by JPay:
https://www.jpay.com/
Look for the Inmate Search link near the upper right of the JPay home page.

If you need more assistance with determining what may be available for "your" inmate, you will need to add the name and location of the correctional institution where your inmate is housed. Click on tap on Comment here and type in the information. The name of the inmate is not needed, by the way.

With the name and location of the correctional institution, I or another volunteer answerer for Fixya should be able to look up the relevant information and provide you with links to the right pages of information.

Note: The commissary services for inmates cost way more than anything similar on "the outside." I refer you to this article from the "politically liberal leaning" publication "Mother Jones" about the cost of electronics for inmates:

Note: Fixya.com, the website where you posted your question, is intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS. I chose you answer your question as a kindness.

Best wishes.

Note the information at the link above if that is the same center. It describes several ways to do so.

Very sorry to hear of your situation, and hope you can make arrangements.

Quoting from the web link above:

accept U.S. Postal Money Orders onlv to be made payable to: FCRJ with the inmate's name on the memo line. Money orders may be dropped off in person, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, or be mailed to:
Inmate's Name
C/O Franklin County Regional Jail
P.O. Box 4068
Frankfort, Ky. 40604-4068
Any money placed on an inmate's account may be used to satisfy outstanding debts.
Maximum amount an inmate can have on their account is $300.00. Anything beyond that amount is at the discretion of the Jailer.
FUNDING AN INMATES ACCOUNT:

• You may mail a United States Postal Money Order to the Franklin County Regional Jail P.O. Box 4068 Frankfort KY 40601. (The only money order we will accept). These are only accepted Monday through Friday between 0800am and 4:30pm. Make sure the inmates name is legible on the envelope or it will be returned to the sender.
• There is an ATM machine in the lobby that accepts cash, Visa, or MasterCard. Or you may go to www.jailatm.com and fund an inmate?€™s account. (This sometimes takes longer to post to an inmates account.)

FEES:
Per Diem: Each inmate that is classified as a county inmate is subject to the facility daily housing fee of $2.00 which is automatically billed every night at midnight.

Booking Fee: There is an administrative booking fee which is $35.00. This fee is not to be mistaken with the $30.00 court bond filing fee. This is a one- time fee per incarceration and for county inmates only.

Keep in mind that each deposit made to an inmates account is subject to %50 of the deposit satisfying inmate debt if any.
ORDERING COMMISSARY
Commissary is conducted once a week. Each inmate is able to place an order each day while phones are turned on. Secure side inmates will receive their orders on Thursday between 0800 am and 4:30 pm. Honor Dorm inmates will receive their orders on Wednesday afternoon around 4:00 pm. Inmates are only allowed to purchase $200.00 of commissary each week.

Hello, Bunny -

If you are in the USA, I suggest you telephone the state department of corrections for your state or the county jail office where the prisoner is incarcerated and ask what the process is and obtain the website address where you can perform the money transfer.

Without knowing where the prisoner is incarcerated, I cannot do much to find the proper web site for you.

Best wishes.

Here is a link to a site that has a significant amount of information about how to make deposits to commisary account for inmates in Manatee County Jail. There are 4 means of doing so and they have detailed instructions for all 4. Pick the one that is easiest for you. Good luck.

Call the prison and ask how to it!

According to https://app4.lasd.org/iic/FAQ.htm#Q13.org, "A: SP3 means that there was a sentence to State Prison and all the inmate's paperwork has been processed and he or she is waiting for transportation to the Department of Corrections. Once the inmate has left County jail, the release information section will show the date and time they were sent."
