Starting on March 1, 2012, you will be seeing “Return to sender” on letters you send to inmates in our county jail. Beginning on March 1, our Detention Center inmates will only be allowed to receive postcards from the outside world. This is only for incoming mail and will not apply to legal or outgoing mail. All inmates will still be able to receive legal mail and will be able to mail regular letters to their family and friends.

New inmate rules and regulations regarding visitation have now been posted. These new rules may be viewed HERE.

Please make sure that you are familiar with the new visitation rules and policies before coming to visit an inmate.

Due to recent upgrades to our services with Tiger Commissary Services, we will no longer accept money orders at the Sheriff's Office. You now have three options available to place money on an inmate's commissary account:

1. You may continue to mail money orders to the sheriff's office in the inmate's name. You will continue to pay any money order fees and postage.
2. There is a kiosk set up in the forward lobby at the Sheriff's Office, across from the Union County District Court. You may place money on an inmate's account from the kiosk using cash, debit card, or credit card. There is a $2.00 transaction fee for a cash deposit, regardless of the amount. Or, there is a 7% service fee for using a debit or credit card. The forward lobby is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
3. You may deposit funds online through the Tiger Commissary Website. There is a 10% processing fee for using this service.

If you have any questions or problems with the new systems, please let us know.
