How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To put money on someone's account at Baltimore County Correctional, start with the county's deposit/vendor instructions and the linked PDF about account-related issues. Baltimore County also directs users to a notice explaining the August 2020 Telmate data breach—personal information for thousands of Telmate users was exposed, and the notice details what data was involved along with guidance for protecting yourself. For retail cash payments, don't assume a pay slip will be accepted at the counter. Acceptance isn't guaranteed, so use the customer support phone number in the materials if there's a problem. In Maryland, facilities usually set up a commissary account at intake and use approved deposit channels: kiosks, website/phone systems, retail networks, or mail/lockbox when offered. Fees and posting times vary by method.
