At Mecosta County Jail, Western Union is not supported for sending money to inmates.
The standard method is by money order:
- Send a money order by mail
- Include the inmate’s full name and ID number clearly
Mail it to:
Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office
225 S. Stewart
Big Rapids, MI 49307
Tips to avoid delays:
- Double-check the inmate’s name and ID number
- Do not send cash
- Follow any specific jail rules listed on their website or by phone
If you want a more convenient option, InmateAid can also prepare and send a money order on your behalf, which helps avoid mistakes and saves a trip to the post office.
