If there is a balance on his books when he leaves county jail, there are a couple of things that could happen. The inmate would fill out a form and designate the money to be sent somewhere (either home or to the new location); if the jail has a reciprocal agreement with the state system, they transfer the money. Since we do not know the name of the county jail we are guessing. You should call the county jail and ask to speak to someone in "inamte accounts" to find out for sure.
