How to Send Money to Calloway County Jail, KY (KY)

Before you can add money to an inmate's commissary account at Calloway County Jail, you'll need to register for a CareACell account. You can sign up online or call 1-800-622-8166 to get help from a CareACell representative.

If the inmate owes money to the jail, half of any deposit you make will go toward those fees. That means not all of your deposit will be available for commissary purchases. It's worth confirming any outstanding balance before you add funds.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Register for a CareACell account online, or call 1-800-622-8166 for help setting it up.
• ✓ Before you deposit, ask whether the inmate owes money to the jail, since half of deposits may be applied to fees owed.
• ✓ Plan your deposit amount with that split in mind, so there’s enough available for what the inmate needs.

1. Confirm CareACell is still required - Check that CareACell is still the system Calloway County Jail uses for families to get set up for commissary.
2. Ask what you need to register - Confirm whether CareACell needs any specific details to create your account and connect it to the correct inmate.

1. Check for any owed fees - Ask the jail whether the inmate has a balance due.
2. Confirm how deposits will be applied - Verify that half of each deposit will be taken for fees owed, and ask whether there are any exceptions or different handling in certain situations.
3. Recalculate what to send - If half will be withheld, increase your deposit if needed so the remaining amount covers commissary plans.
