How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You have a few ways to add money to an inmate account at Alvin S. Glenn Detention. The facility accepts internet deposits through McDaniel Supply Company. There's also a commissary kiosk in the front lobby that takes cash and credit card deposits. You can use a U.S. Postal money order too: leave it in the front lobby between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., seven days a week, or mail it using the facility's mailing instructions. When sending a money order or mail payment, include the detainee's full name, date of birth, and detainee number (mailing instructions also ask for the detainee name, number, and housing unit). Staff will not accept any form of payment at the counter, and personal checks are not accepted. Online and kiosk deposits usually post faster than mailed money orders.
