How can I drop off money for someone in jail?
Family and friends of inmates housed at the Rock County Jail are able to deposit funds into inmate commissary accounts utilizing the Kiosk Payment Acceptor located in the lobby of the Rock County Jail. The kiosk assists family and friends by eliminating the need to contact the Central Control officer. It immediately deposits the money into the inmate's account avoiding delays during holidays or weekends and making the money readily available for commissary purchases. Any monies deposited will be subject to the normal collections for debts owed to the Rock County Jail by the inmate.
The automated payment kiosk accepts United States currency in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 US denominations, debit cards, and credit cards for funding Jail resident Cobra Banker accounts. Deposits may be made in the lobby area seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The first article of currency inserted into the machine MUST be a denomination of $5.00 or higher. There is a $3.00 convenience fee for utilizing the lobby kiosk. The fee will be deducted from the amount deposited into the inmate's account for cash transactions.

Can you give a message to my friend/loved one?
