How to Send Money to an Inmate in Los Angeles County Jail
According to SCLG, if you have a loved one in a Los Angeles County jail, you can send them money to be used for purchasing food, snacks, hygiene items, and clothing from the jail commissary. This process is often referred to as “putting money on the inmate’s books” [1].
If you reside in California, you can send money to an inmate in the Los Angeles County jail by means of a certified bank cashier’s check or USPS money order. If you reside outside of California, you can only send a postal money order
Ensure the check or money order is payable to the inmate’s name and booking number and mail it to the appropriate address:
For male inmates:
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
P.O. Box 86164 Terminal Annex
Los Angeles, CA 90086-0164
Attn: Inmate Name, Booking Number
For female inmates:
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
Century Regional Detention Facility
11705 S. Alameda Street
Lynwood, CA 90262
