How to Put Money on an Inmate’s Books in Maricopa County Jails

**Please note, we are not the Fourth Avenue Jail, if you are looking for the status of an inmate, call (602) 876-0322

If you have a friend or family member in any one of the Maricopa County jails (4th Ave, Durango, Estrella, Lower Buckeye, Tent City, and Towers Jail), you may want to know how to put money on his or her account. Inmates can use money to buy items from the canteen, including hygiene items such as toothpaste and shampoo. They can also purchase candy bars and post cards to mail to friends and family members outside of the jail.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a convenience fee to use TouchPay’s services. The amount of the fee will be made available to you before you complete your transaction, and it will also be included on your receipt. For all information regarding depositing money into an inmates account, please see the MCSO page on inmate accounts.

Instructions to Give an Inmate Money

To give an inmate money, you need only follow these three simple steps:

1. Choose How You Would Like to Make Your Deposit

You can make a deposit to an inmate’s account by Internet or telephone, or from a special kiosk located in the jail(s) or at certain retail locations throughout Maricopa county. Telephone deposits may be made by calling the following toll-free number: 1-866-355-9593.

2. Choose Your Method of Payment

To give an inmate money, you may use either a credit card or cash. Online and phone deposits are made using either a Visa or Mastercard. Cash deposits may be made at the kiosks. The Sheriff’s office itself does not accept any currency or checks. Keep in mind that there is a nominal fee for the TouchPay service.

3. Wait for the Deposit to Clear

Any funds you deposit to your inmate’s books will typically clear within one hour from the time of deposit.

Inmates at Maricopa County jails can receive money posted to their books by friends and family members. Follow the three simple steps above whether your inmate is in the 4th Avenue Jail, Durango, Estrella, Lower Buckeye, Madison, Tent City, Towers, or First Avenue Jail.

For more information, please see the Maricopa County Jail systems FAQ’s.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Nick Boca and Robyn McCraw. I felt I was in the best of hands from the beginning. They were clear and upfront at all times with their communication and instruction. Any divorce is a difficult time, and Nick and Robyn understand that. Their compassion for my situation and professionalism in how they handled my case stood out the most. I would highly recommend their services to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cantor Law Group came as a recommendation from a family friend, and I am so grateful that this led me to speak with Nicholas Boca. Nik represented me in a complicated divorce which detailed a substantial claim of waste that spanned my 25-year marriage. He was very straightforward and honest and worked purposefully on my behalf at all times. He was empathetic to my situation and found ways to navigate difficult challenges unique to my case. Perhaps most importantly, he understood the importance of bringing closure to my situation and did his best to avoid unnecessary legal expenses. His methods to find resolution required wisdom and experienced practice of law.

My heartfelt gratitude also extends to Robyn and Amanda. This was a team effort. Amanda’s knowledge of law, Robyn’s organizational skills and instinctive nature were invaluable. My “team” at Cantor Law Group cared. My case mattered, I mattered, my family mattered.  From the front desk to the billing department, everyone handled my inquiries and needs without delay. Each person I interacted with seemed to know me personally and I felt reassured they were all working together to achieve the best possible outcome.

Cantor Law Group has an excellent reputation amongst the experts. It was extremely reassuring knowing that the work ethic and professionalism of Cantor Law Group is respected by both the experts and the court.

I would HIGHLY recommend Cantor Law group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the attorneys are exceptional and they all work collaboratively on your case. While I worked closely with David, the other attorney's where always up to date and provided unparalleled guidance. Bottom line, they are a cut above and they deliver. You get what you pay for. If it matters, talk to DM Cantor.
