Inmate Account items may be purchased by inmates, utilizing their inmate account. To make a deposit in an inmate’s account, mail or bring a money order to the jail. It must contain the inmate’s name and commitment number, and the senders name and address. Checks and cash are NOT accepted. If an inmate is in Logan Hall or Delaney Hall, the money order will be forwarded to them. There is a maximum of $200.00 for any single money order. Please be advised that Union County Jail will deduct a $50.00 Administrative charge from all inmate accounts. This amount can be paid over several deposits. We will always leave $10.00 of any deposit in the inmate’s account until the Administrative fee is paid. Example: if $20.00 is deposited, $10 will go toward the Administrative charge and $10.00 will be left in the inmate account for purchases. Medical and medication charges are deducted separately. Money orders which arrive at the jail after an inmate is released or transferred, will be returned to the sender, providing the sender’s name and address is on the money order, and legible. If an inmate is transferred to another institution, a check will be sent with the transport team for deposit
in his/her account. You can drop money orders off at the jail 7 days a week from 6:00 AM –
12:00 AM in the money order box located in the facility’s lobby vending machine area.
For any questions regarding an inmate’s account call (908) 527-4700. |
