How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Bay County Jail uses TouchPay for inmate funds. You can deposit at the jail lobby kiosk or through the TouchPay web portal—for online deposits, you'll need the inmate's Control Number and facility ID 15733. The lobby kiosk accepts cash, debit, and credit cards. Service fees apply, and the kiosk doesn't issue refunds. Money orders mailed to the facility work too—make them payable to the inmate and include the inmate's name, control identification number, and your name and address. Want to add funds specifically for messaging? Create an account at gettingout.com. Deposits typically post within 24 hours. Inmates can check balances and order commissary at a kiosk; commissary delivery may take up to 72 hours after permanent housing assignment. Refund checks are available Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm with a valid DMV photo ID.
