Every detail on this page is checked by hand, not scraped.

Kimble's/Turnkey operates Inmate Canteen, Baldwin's trust-deposit service, which takes payments online and at a machine in the courthouse docket area.
The trust balance pays for commissary food and personal items. Tablet and messaging charges come from a separate InmateSales balance, so check which account you are paying before you send money.
Never put a money order inside a letter to the TextBehind scanning address, because that mail is destroyed. Deposit problems go to Kimble's/Turnkey at 706-298-4974.
Trust deposits online go through Inmate Canteen; pick Alabama, then the Baldwin County jail, and search by last name.

Commissary food and personal items, plus email, messages and paid tablet media.
Never tuck one into a letter, since personal mail holding a money order gets destroyed. Money orders are the only form of currency the mail policy allows, so send one by itself. For any other mailed payment, get approval from the Corrections Center at 251-937-0202. The sheriff doesn't say who a mailed trust-fund money order should be made payable to; for the payee name and mailing destination, call the jail at 251-937-0202. Snacks, hygiene items and postcards bought with trust funds appear on our Corrections Center commissary page.
