How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Allen County Corrections Division manages inmate funds, but deposits must go through approved channels—you can't hand cash to staff. To send money, get the inmate's full name and ID number first. Then pick an authorized option: online portal, phone deposit, lobby kiosk, or approved retail method. Follow the vendor's steps to complete the deposit. Funds in the account can cover commissary purchases, phone time, hygiene items, and other fees when allowed by facility or vendor rules. Double-check that you're using the jail's authorized vendors before paying—unofficial sites exist. Plan for convenience or processing fees, which the third-party vendor sets.
