Change to Touchpay deposits for inmates with a negative jail account balance:
Inmates with a negative jail account balance can now receive half of each Touchpay deposit made by friends and family. Deposit methods have not changed and are still made through Touchpay online, over the phone, and on the jail kiosk in Reception. The other half of each deposit goes to the negative account balance. The change is designed to provide a way to order commissary or move funds to Smart Communications when the negative balance prevented this before.
