Sending Money to an Inmate at Butte Detention Center: How to Pay and Where Your Funds Go
Butte Detention Center only accepts commissary money by mail as cash or a cashier's check. Don't slip money into a letter or greeting card - if you do, the entire letter will be destroyed.
Money deposited into an inmate's account doesn't go straight to commissary. The detention center first applies funds toward the $25 booking fee and any medical copays. Whatever remains after that can be spent on commissary items like candy, snacks, and beverages.
