Inmate Funds

Funds may be mailed or brought to the Detention Center for the inmates account. Any money that the inmate comes in with upon arrest will be deposited into their account. Note: Any outstanding debt from a previous incarceration in the Converse County Detention Center will be collected every time money is entered into the inmates account. The Detention Center prefers you bring the funds in cash but money orders will be accepted. No checks will be accepted. Once the inmate is released from the Detention Center, they will be issued a check in the amount of the balance on their account.

​

You may also add funds to an inmate’s account via the Internet. You can log on to www.SmartDeposit.com and follow the instructions for The Converse County Detention Center in Douglas, WY. You will need to have the inmates ID number, which will be provided to you by the inmate. The Detention Deputies will not give out any personal information over the telephone.
