Butler County Jail Sending Money
Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Butler County Jail
Depositing Money for a Butler County Inmate
A Butler County prisoner's jail balance pays for the twice-weekly commissary. Deposit routes into that balance, by mailed money order, at the counter or through a payment company, are explained by Johnson's staff at 319-267-2410; call before sending money.
The same conversation should cover who a money order is made out to and where it goes.
Folded bills and personal checks have no place in mail headed to the Allison sheriff.
Calls and texts draw on a different pot: a Reliance account, kept apart from the jail balance.
