Putting money on someone's account at Bacon Probation Detention? Pre-paid collect deposits are capped at $200.00 per deposit, so larger amounts need to be split across multiple transactions. The facility lists funding fees as $0.00 per deposit when using IVR, website, live agent, check, or money order. Common deposit methods in Georgia include online transfers through third-party vendors, lobby kiosks/ATMs, mailed money orders (often with printable vouchers), and vendor commissary services—availability varies by facility.
