How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Boyd Co Detention Center has specific rules for handling certain funds. Youth who receive mandatory benefits, inheritances, or insurance awards must have a trust fund account, with any excess money accumulating there. Withdrawals from special trust funds aren't automatic—they require supervisory approval, with different approval levels depending on the amount. Trust fund withdrawals can never be paid to DJJ staff. If you want to add money for commissary or phone use, facilities commonly offer options like third-party vendor portals, lobby kiosks, phone deposits, or mailed money orders. The exact methods and vendors vary by facility.
