How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Yakima 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. 
You will use a self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Yakima County Jail uses a private company to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company, Touchpay, 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.

• Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. 
• Before sending funds to the facility, email Lt. Coxen (ernest.coxen@co.yakima.wa.us) for pre-approval since regular mail is no longer accepted.
• The inmate will receive a copy of the receipt indicating the day the money was processed and how much was entered into his/her account.
• If any other items are included in the envelope with the money order, all contents will be returned to sender.
