Cashier’s Office

The Cashier’s office at the IRC is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Inmate Accounts

Inmates may have money (cash), city/county/state/ or United States Government checks or money orders deposited to their account. Money orders must be made out to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and the inmate’s name and booking number must be annotated on the reference line of the money order. These will be credited to the inmate’s account, not to exceed $500.00.

• Only cash or money orders payable in U.S. dollars are accepted at the Cashier’s office. Money orders may either be deposited at the Cashier’s office or mailed to the inmate through the U.S. mail. Government checks must be mailed to the inmate. This is for tracking purposes and because the inmates must endorse these checks before they can be deposited.
• Personal checks, Cashier’s/Official checks, and Traveler’s checks are NOT accepted for inmate accounts.
• Money can be placed on an inmate’s account at either the Central Jail Complex or at the Theo Lacy Branch Jail, regardless of where the inmate is housed. These funds are available for the inmate to use immediately after they are placed on the inmate’s account.
• Possession of monies by an inmate is forbidden.
• Funds may not be transferred from the account of one inmate to the account of another inmate without the express permission of the Watch Commander.
