Paying bail for someone in Jefferson County

After being arrested and booked into Jefferson County Correctional Institution in Louisville, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

1. They may be released without bail and required to attend a court hearing.
2. They may be held in custody until their court date.
3. Bail can be posted for their release; call 478-625-7230 for the exact bail amount.

There are multiple ways to pay bail.

• Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 478-625-7230.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Jefferson County can facilitate the process.
• Many courts accept a home or land as collateral for bond, as long as the owner proves clear title and equity at least equal to the bond amount (often twice it) with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Jefferson County Correctional Institution?

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

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Jefferson County Correctional Institution uses CommissaryDeposit.com 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.

Choice 2 - 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.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

**Call 478-625-7230 first to ask Jefferson County Correctional Institution if this option is still available.
