How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Family and friends must use Vend Engine to add commissary funds—mail-in money orders aren't accepted. If staff find cash inside letters or other mail, they'll remove it and deposit it into the inmate's commissary account. Watch the weekly cutoff: deposits must hit the account before 8:00 AM on Tuesday. Inmates place commissary orders by phone and must enter them before 10:00 AM Tuesday. Orders are passed out on Wednesday. For indigent commissary, the inmate needs to submit an Inmate Request Form labeled with their name, S.O. #, and "indigent" by the prior Friday at 8:00 AM and meet eligibility requirements.
