Send money.
Choose the right account.

Choose the deposit method, confirm the recipient and keep the transaction record. LA County funds jail phone calls separately from inmate spending money.

01THE COMPLETE PROCESS

Choose the right deposit.

Have the booked name, booking number and current facility ready. Match the details to the latest custody record.

MAILED DEPOSIT LIMIT$200

Accepted payment types depend on the sender’s state.

  1. 01

    Confirm the recipient.

    Match the booked name and booking number to the current LASD record. Find the booking before paying
  2. 02

    Choose how to deposit.

    Online and app deposits use Access Corrections. Phone deposits use (866) 345-1884 with bilingual live agents. Other options include cash at the PDC kiosk, in-person services at IRC or CRDF, and a mailed payment.
  3. 03

    Use your residential street address.

    LASD does not accept a PO box as the depositor’s address. Review the provider’s current fees and terms and keep the transaction confirmation. Online deposits have been available through Access Corrections since July 28, 2025.
  4. 04

    For mail, check the payment and address.

    The mailed-deposit maximum is $200. California senders may use a certified bank cashier’s check or USPS money order. From other states, use a USPS money order only. Make the payment payable to the person’s name AND booking number.
  5. 05

    For an in-person visit, call first.

    Bring government-issued photo ID. Confirm the service location, hours and any authorization before traveling. The cash kiosk is in Castaic, not at a downtown or Lynwood visiting entrance.
  6. 06

    After release, ask about remaining funds.

    Contact the cashier promptly. LASD says trust accounts are purged about 30 days after release; waiting can delay collection. An approved Money Release Form is needed for withdrawals while someone is still in custody.
