Depositing Funds
In effort to provide a convenience to the public, an electronic deposit kiosk has been installed and can be found located on the second floor of the courthouse near the Sheriff’s Office entry. You can search by the inmate’s name and deposit funds for that individual. The convenience is that funds may be deposited at any time without having to enter the Sheriff’s Office. If you have any questions regarding the use of the Stellar Teller kiosk, you may contact dispatch.
Health Care
The jail shall provide necessary medical treatment and emergency dental care for inmates while incarcerated. Inmates are responsible for payment of medical costs they incur while incarcerated.
Medications
Medications are distributed by jail staff under the supervision of a doctor and nurse. No medications or treatments will be administered unless they are prescribed by a physician. Inmates are encouraged to bring their own prescription medications and medical equipment to the jail.
Meals
Inmates are served nutritionally balanced meals. An inmate shall be provided with a special diet only if ordered by a physician.
