The Nueces County Sheriff's Office offers four (4) convenient methods to send money to a Nueces County Jail Inmate.

1. The kiosk is similar to an ATM machine; however, instead of giving money, it takes it and deposits it directly into an inmate's account. The kiosk will accept cash ($5 bills or higher) and credit/debit cards with the VISA/MasterCard logo. The fees for using the machine are as follows:

There is a kiosk located at both the Main Jail lobby (located at 901 Leopard Street) and the McKenzie Annex (located at 745 North Padre Island Drive). These machines will be available for use 24 hours a day.
