A machine has been placed in the main lobby of the jail to add money to inmates phone accounts. This account works like the commissary account does, the inmate can check the remaining balance and use the funds as they wish. Money deposited on the phone account does not go toward any debt that is owed by the inmate, it will only be used for making phone calls.
