How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Greenup County Detention Center?
There are three choices for putting money on an inmate's books:

If you can't get your questions answered online call the Greenup County Detention Center at 606-473-9660.

Choice 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.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Greenup County Detention Center at 606-473-9660 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
