How to Send Money to an Inmate at Bedford County Correctional Facility

You can add funds to an inmate's commissary account at Bedford County Correctional Facility in a couple of ways. One option is mailing a money order, which the facility posts to the inmate's account. The other options go through Access Corrections, which handles deposits by mobile app, online, kiosk, or phone.

Commissary money is what your loved one uses to buy basics inside: hygiene products, snacks, writing supplies. Keeping a little money on their account can make day-to-day life easier and help them stay in touch.

The Access Corrections mobile app is one of the fastest ways to send money. It's free to download and designed for deposits on the go. Just search for Bedford County Correctional Facility in the app, select the right person, and complete your deposit from your phone.

Prefer using a computer? You can make deposits through accesscorrections.com. Search for Bedford County Correctional Facility, find the inmate you're sending money to, and follow the prompts to complete your deposit.

If you'd rather handle deposits in person, Access Corrections has a network of 800+ kiosk locations. This is a helpful workaround if you don't want to use an app or website.

Want help walking through the process? You can arrange a deposit by phone. Access Corrections has live, bilingual agents available at 866-345-1884. This is useful if you have questions, need help finding the right facility or inmate entry, or just prefer talking to a person.

• ✓ If you are using a kiosk, have the inmate’s name ready so you can select the correct person during the deposit process.
• ✓ If you get stuck (or want to deposit by phone instead), call the Access Corrections live, bilingual agent line at 866-345-1884.
• ✓ After any deposit, keep your confirmation or receipt so you have a record if you need to follow up.

Bedford County Correctional Facility also accepts money orders for commissary deposits. This option works well if you don't want to use electronic payments or if app and online deposits aren't practical for you. Plan ahead: mailed payments take longer to arrive and process.

1. Buy a money order - Use a money order (not cash) so it can be tracked and replaced if it is lost.
2. Fill it out clearly - Write the inmate’s name neatly, and include any identifying details you have available to help staff apply it to the right account.
3. Add a return address and keep the receipt - Hold onto your stub or receipt until the funds show up on the inmate’s account.
4. Mail it to the facility for posting - Send the money order to Bedford County Correctional Facility so it can be placed on the inmate’s account for commissary.
