How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Ashe County Detention Center gives you several ways to add commissary funds or send items to an inmate. The fastest option is the ATM-style kiosk in the lobby, which accepts debit or cash for instant deposits. Can't make it in person? Deposit money online through JailATM.com after setting up a user account. You can also shop for commissary items directly through the Oasis store on jailcanteen.com—select North Carolina, then Ashe County Detention Center to place an order. The detention center accepts U.S. Postal Service money orders mailed in too; make the money order payable to the inmate. Use the inmate's exact booked name and ID when making any deposit to avoid delays.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
