About the Delaware County Jail
Both males and females who are arrested in the city of Jay, Oklahoma, and the area surrounding the city, will be taken to the Delaware County Jail. This facility falls under the jurisdiction of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office and the inmates who are held are waiting for trial, or on trial, at the Delaware County Court System. The sheriff, jail, and court system work together to maintain the safety and security of the community and the inmates. Once sentencing has been completed, those who are serving sentences that are longer than one year will be transferred to a larger facility that has more programs and enhanced security protocols. Those who are at increased risk of violence may also be transferred to a higher level security jail. Both video visits and the commissary accounts are managed through the Prodigy Solutions programs at prodigysales.com. Family members can create accounts for these purposes and book video visits as well as add money to the inmates' account for making phone calls or making purchases through the commissary. Visits are 20 minutes long and must be scheduled at least a day in advance, during the provided visitation hours. Offsite visits occur from 6am until 11pme very day with restricted blocs from 1:30-3:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays due to other programming.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Delaware County Jail?

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. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Delaware County Jail 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.

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 Delaware County Jail 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.
