Once arrested, an individual may be brought to Purgatory Correctional Facility in Hurricane for processing. The next steps vary:

1. The individual may be released without paying bail and ordered to appear on a set date.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their hearing.
3. Posting bail or bond allows them to be released. Call 435-656-6600 to confirm the bail amount.

There are several ways to pay an individual’s bail.

• A cash bond is posted by paying the whole amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office with cash, a cashier's check or a money order, and many facilities also accept cards at a kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail's line is 435-656-6600.
• Licensed bail bond agencies in Washington County can provide assistance.
• Courts in many places accept real property, such as land or a house, as bond collateral when the owner documents clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Purgatory Correctional Facility?

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
Purgatory Correctional Facility 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 Purgatory Correctional Facility first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
