NEW PROCEDURES FOR ONLINE DEPOSIT TO INMATE ACCOUNTS
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 11, 2012

The new web site for making on-line deposits to inmate accounts is:

https://deposits.jailatm.com/WebDeposits/

Family members will need a valid email address to set up an account.  You will be asked for the email address and you will be sent an email with a link to verify the creation of the account. After the email link is clicked and the account is verified, you will login and be prompted to pick a state from the drop down box (Virginia) then pick our facility name (Western VA Regional Jail) and an inmate name or ID number to search.
