Money
Can families send money here?
Juvenile Hall Visit Scheduling, Juvenile Hall, and Contact pages (checked 2026-09-12) do not publish a family commissary, deposit vendor, or “money on the books” path. Do not use TouchPay facility 293405, iCare, 866-232-1899, or the adult Kansas Avenue kiosk for a youth. Case questions go to the assigned Deputy Probation Officer or Juvenile Services Center (805) 781-5352, not to adult-jail visiting staff.
This is not the adult jail deposit or commissary process. Do not send adult-inmate funds through a youth-campus workflow.
