How to Send Money to Bent County Corrections Facility, CO (CO)
Putting money on someone's account at Bent County Corrections Facility? Timing matters. Use the guidelines below so funds show up when your loved one actually needs them.
Deposits made before 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time at Bent County Corrections Facility are generally available to the inmate the next day. If you're trying to cover something time-sensitive, treat that 4:00 p.m. MT cutoff as your deadline.
Even if the balance posts quickly, canteen is a different story. Allow 2 to 3 days after your deposit for processing before the inmate can actually place canteen orders.
Heads up: The department is required to withhold at least 20% of any deposit for court-ordered fines, fees, restitution, and/or child support owed by the incarcerated individual. So the amount they can actually spend may be less than what you send.
Steps-to-follow
- ✓ Send funds before 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time if you want the best chance of next-day availability.
- ✓ For canteen orders, build in a 2 to 3 day processing buffer after you deposit.
- ✓ Expect at least 20% of the deposit to be withheld if the person owes court-ordered fines, fees, restitution, and/or child support.
Policies can shift, especially around processing timelines. Before sending money, confirm the current 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time cutoff and ask how quickly deposits are showing up for the person you're sending to. Availability on the account and canteen timing are not always the same thing.
Ask how the required withholding applies in their specific situation, too. The department must withhold a minimum of 20% of any deposit for court-ordered fines, fees, restitution, and/or child support. Understanding the net amount they'll actually have available (and whether any additional holds apply) can save you from surprises.
