Angelina County Jail Sending Money

Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Angelina County Jail

Depositing Money for an Angelina County Jail Inmate

Vend Engine, today Correct Pay, is the deposit route the Angelina County Sheriff names for families. Today that platform is branded Correct Pay, and the Angelina County Jail appears among its locations. There are three ways to deposit:

1. On the web at correctpay.com, choosing the Angelina County location and then the inmate.
2. With the Correct Pay app for iPhone or Android.
3. By phone at 855-836-3364, Correct Pay's toll-free line.

Keep the inmate's SO number handy when you deposit. Lufkin credits no cash or personal check that arrives by mail. This is one Texas jail where the Sheriff says money orders are not accepted, so ask 936-634-2724 what else works before sending anything by mail.

Angelina County Jail - Depositing Money for Inmates

How an Angelina County Inmate's Money Account Works

Inmates at 2311 E. Lufkin Ave. cannot hold cash. Booking staff feed an arrestee's pocket cash into the book-in kiosk, which credits their inmate fund. Commissary, medical charges and phone charges then come out of that fund. Family deposits through Correct Pay go into the same account. When the inmate is released, the balance is returned to them; if they go straight to TDCJ or another agency, it is sent there.

The Sheriff's Office says an inmate cannot sign their money over to another person, except to a bonding company. Balance questions are answered at 936-634-2724.
