Cash can be accepted online, over the phone (1-866-232-1899) or on the kiosk in the jail lobby.  For bonding purposes, please note you need to select "self-release" in account setup. Jail staff does not accept cash, but will accept cashier's checks or money orders.  Checks or money orders should be made out to the "Court Clerk" or "Clerk of Court", they should not be made out in the inmate's name.
