How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Bridgeport Corrections is straightforward, and you don't need to be on an approved visitor list. Common options include mailing a money order with the department's remitter form, using an approved electronic deposit service, or funding an inmate tablet or media account where available. Processing time varies: mailed money orders often take several business days to post, while some electronic deposits may credit within hours. Double-check the incarcerated person's name and ID on the remitter form or deposit details. Incorrect information can delay, reject, or misapply funds. For mailed payments, complete the remitter form and follow vendor instructions to avoid returns or delays.
