Three Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Canteen Account at Hill‑Finklea (Money Order, Lobby Kiosk, Internet)

Hill‑Finklea Detention Center (Berkeley County Detention Center) lists three ways you can put money on an inmate’s canteen account: sending a money order by mail, making a deposit at the lobby kiosk, or using the internet deposit option.

Want a mail-in option? You can send a money order made out to the inmate in any denomination. Once they receive it, they can deposit it into their canteen account.

Mail the money order directly to the inmate using the same format the detention center publishes under its

Prefer to deposit in person? There's a kiosk in the front main lobby at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office. It accepts cash or credit card.

Kiosk hours are Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. It's also available during inmate visitation hours.

Online deposits go through a third-party vendor: McDaniel Supply Company. The detention center doesn't control or monitor that service, so if you run into account or transaction issues, you'll need to contact the vendor directly.

The facility confirms the lobby kiosk charges a processing fee and that internet deposits run through McDaniel Supply Company - but there's no published fee schedule or timing details for each method. Before sending funds, check the cost and timing where you're making the deposit: on the kiosk screen for in-person deposits, or through McDaniel for online ones.
