How to Send Money to Joseph V. Conte Facility

Why This Page Has Fewer Confirmed Details

Joseph V. Conte Facility is a Broward County jail, not a Florida Department of Corrections state prison. FDC’s Correct Pay system, used at every state prison in this guide series, does not apply here. Broward Sheriff’s Office works with its own commissary and money-transfer vendor, but the current vendor name, fee schedule, and accepted payment methods were not confirmed from an official source during research.

What to Do Before Sending Money

Call 954-831-5900, the Broward Sheriff’s Office correctional information line, and ask:

• What is the current approved vendor for sending money to an inmate?
• Is the deposit made online, by phone, by mail, or at a facility kiosk?
• What information do I need to provide, such as the inmate’s full name, date of birth, and booking or arrest number?
• Are there deposit limits or restrictions?

Why You Shouldn’t Guess the Vendor

Third-party inmate search websites sometimes list a specific vendor name for county jails, but these listings can be outdated if BSO switches providers. Sending money to the wrong vendor account risks losing the deposit entirely. Confirm the current vendor directly with BSO at 954-831-5900 before using any payment service.

Money Orders by Mail

Some county jails accept money orders by mail addressed to the facility or to a specific processing address. Whether Joseph V. Conte Facility accepts this method, and what address to use, was not confirmed during research. Ask about this option when you call.

What Deposited Funds Typically Cover

At most county jails, funds deposited to an inmate’s account cover commissary items such as snacks, hygiene products, and stamps, and may also fund phone or messaging accounts depending on how BSO structures its systems. Confirm with BSO whether phone credit is a separate account from commissary spending.

Troubleshooting

If you’ve already sent money and it hasn’t posted, call 954-831-5900 with your payment confirmation details and the inmate’s booking or arrest number ready.
