If there is a bank account in his name from which you manage his financial affairs, the bank ought to accept the check for deposit with the hand-printed endorsement:

FOR DEPOSIT ONLY

TO THE ACCOUNT OF

[your son's name]

[your son's account number]

If there is no bank account, I would suggest respectfully contacting the warden/administrator of the jail and inquiring if they can arrange for you to bring the check in, have your son endorse it, and have it returned to you.
