Riverside Inmate Money Guidelines

Money may be deposited into an inmate's account. Inmates may use the money to purchase snacks, hygiene items, phone cards, and writing materials. Inmates may also us the money for co-payments (currently $3.00) if they request medical, non-emergency services.  You may deliver money to inmates in one of two ways:

1. You can mail a US Postal Money Order for deposit on an inmate's account. Always put the name and booking number of the inmate on the front of the money order.  Cash or personal checks are not accepted via mail. If cash or personal checks are received at a jail facility, the envelope and its contents are marked "Return to Sender" and sent back.
2. Money can be delivered to the facility where an inmate is currently housed. Cash or US Postal Money Orders for the exact amount are accepted at the facility. The facilities will not make change for you. Please refer to the table below for each facility:

To withdraw money: Money may be withdrawn from an inmate's account within 24 hours of booking with the inmate's permission. After the 24-hour period, a court order is required for money withdrawal. Contact the facility where the inmate is housed for further information.
