How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Adding money for someone at ASPC Tucson, Santa Rita Unit? Here's the key rule: ADCRR does not accept personal checks, money orders, or cashier's checks for inmate account deposits. Instead, use approved third-party services via phone or online portals, or deposit through an on-site kiosk. Follow the vendor's instructions carefully and enter the inmate's identifier so funds post to the correct account (commissary, telephone, or self-bail). Official government payments—Veterans, Social Security, or Disability checks—must be mailed to the state Inmate Trust Accounts Section at 1802 W Jackson Street, #161, Phoenix, AZ 85007, effective January 7, 2026. Fees and options vary by provider and payment method.
