1. Are inmates allowed to receive books?

We allow paperback books to be sent to inmates directly from a publisher. They could also be mailed directly from a company like Amazon.  They are only allowed four books in their cell at a time, so we would not be able to accept more than four books at any given time.

The books should be sent to:

Inmate Name & JCID number (if known)
P.O. Box 16700
Golden, CO.  80402-6700

Books can also be donated to the book  library by being delivered to: 

200 Jefferson County Parkway
Golden, CO  80401

Phone: 303-271-5444

3. How can I send money to an inmate?

When an inmate is processed into the jail, all currency is taken from him and forwarded to the inmate services unit. It is then placed in his personal account for his use during incarceration. Family and friends may deposit money into an inmate's account from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the jail's inmate services unit, 200 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden (enter from the upper west parking lot). The following forms of funds will be accepted:

• Checks from other law enforcement agencies
• U.S. currency
