How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Gwinnett County Detention Center?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
You will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards. YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE INMATE'S FULL BOOKING NAME AND INMATE ID #.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Gwinnett County Detention Center uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person. 
YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE INMATE'S FULL BOOKING NAME AND INMATE ID #.


Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Gwinnett County Detention Center first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
