Palm Beach County Main Detention Center is run by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, not the Florida Department of Corrections, so the statewide Correct Pay system used at FDOC prisons does not apply here. PBSO uses Access Corrections for inmate trust account deposits. You can deposit online at accesscorrections.com, by phone at 866-394-0490, or with cash, credit, or debit at a kiosk. Kiosks are located in the release lobby at Main Detention Center, at the Video Visitation Center, and in the West Detention Center visitation lobby.
Correct Pay is the statewide money deposit system for Florida Department of Corrections state prisons. Palm Beach County Main Detention Center is run by PBSO, a separate county agency that uses Access Corrections for inmate deposits.
Before you start a deposit, gather:
| Method | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Online | Pay by debit or credit card at accesscorrections.com | Fastest option if you have internet access |
| Phone | Call 866-394-0490 and pay by card through automated prompts | Families without internet access |
| Lobby kiosk | Pay with cash, credit, or debit at an Access Corrections kiosk | Visitors already at a PBSO facility |
Do not send cash through the mail to Palm Beach County Main Detention Center or any Florida jail or prison. Cash sent by mail is not accepted and can be lost or confiscated. Use Access Corrections online, by phone, or at a kiosk instead.
Access Corrections typically charges a service fee on top of the deposit amount, and processing time can vary by method. The exact current fee schedule and processing time for this facility were not independently confirmed during this research. Access Corrections displays the fee before you finalize payment, so confirm it there.
Deposits made through Access Corrections generally fund the inmate’s commissary account, covering items like food and hygiene products. Whether phone credit draws from the same account or requires separate funding was not confirmed for this facility. Call 561-688-4400 to ask.
If a deposit does not appear within the expected timeframe, first confirm the inmate’s name and booking number were entered correctly. Contact Access Corrections customer service, and if the issue continues, call Palm Beach County Main Detention Center at 561-688-4400 or the corrections information line at 561-558-2700.
If the inmate is transferred to a different PBSO facility, a different county, or into FDOC state prison custody, funds handling can differ. Call 561-688-4400 for guidance specific to the transfer situation, since account balances do not always move automatically between different agencies’ systems.
If the inmate has court-ordered fines, fees, or restitution, some or all of a deposit could be subject to withholding under county or state policy. Ask the facility or Access Corrections directly how this applies before sending a large amount.
