The Linn County Jail is happy to announce the availability of banking service for Adults in Custody through CorrectPay.
**EFFECTIVE 4/7/26, PLEASE SEE UPDATED BAIL INFO BELOW**
Friends and family of Adults in Custody may make deposits on an AICs account by calling the (855) 836-3364 or visiting their website HERE. Once on their site, you may choose to put money on either a commissary account or a bonding account. Please continue reading below for details about each type of account and the restrictions and services associated with each account.
Commissary Account
Each AIC will have access to a commissary account in the CorrectPay system. Through the tablets in the facility, they are able to see each transaction occurring on their account. With funds on their commissary account, an AIC is able to move funds to an internal account, enabling them to purchase phone time and time on the tablet for any paid features. This is a change from the past process. Friends and family can no longer place money directly on the phone/tablet account for the AIC. Once funds are placed on the phone/tablet account, they cannot be moved back to the commissary account. In the past, this created an unwanted restriction for AICs and you, the friend or family member. Additionally, in the past, once funds were moved to the phone/tablet account, the AIC was not able to get those funds returned to them on their release date. This too has changed with CorrectPay. Now, when an AIC is released from custody, all unused funds on their commissary account and their phone account will be returned to them. It is important to know, if an AIC chooses to do so, they may also post bail on charges with bail assigned to them, from their commissary account.
Bonding Account **NEW CHANGES EFFECTIVE 4/7/26**
There are new changes to how and where the public may post bail for an AIC lodged in the Linn County Jail. The jail will only accept bail payment in the form of a certified cashier’s check. No other payment method will be accepted. The cashier’s check must be made out to the court that set the bail, not the jail.
LINN COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT: Bail must be paid at the courthouse during normal courthouse hours. The jail will only accept bail after courthouse hours, on weekends and on federal holidays.
ALBANY MUNICIPAL COURT: Bail must be paid at the courthouse during normal courthouse hours. The jail will only accept bail after courthouse hours, on weekends and on federal holidays.
LINN JUSTICE COURTS: Bail for a person held in custody on a Linn Justice Court warrant may be paid at the jail any time.
OUT OF COUNTY/OUT OF STATE BAIL: Bail for a person being held on an out of county or out of state warrant may be paid at the jail any time.
Additionally, friends and family may visit www.correctpay.com and use a credit card to place money on an AIC’s bonding account. With a bonding account balance, an AIC can bail themselves out. A second option is to visit the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and use the kiosk in our lobby to deposit cash or make a card payment. Please be aware that online transactions and kiosk transactions via credit card are limited to $300.00 per day. If the bail is more than $300.00, you will need to make separate deposits over multiple days to reach the desired balance in the bonding account. These limitations are set by the banks, not by the jail or CorrectPay. There is no limit on daily cash deposits into an AIC account.
If you experience any problems with transactions in the CorrectPay system you should call their customer service line at (855) 836-3364. The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation can also help settle disputes and their page can be found HERE.
