How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Calloway County Jail uses CareACell for commissary and care-package services. You'll need to register for a CareACell account (online or by phone at 1.800.622.8166) before adding funds or ordering items. Commissary deposits go through the Care A Cell website, not directly at the jail. Care packages come from the vendor's approved catalog, with products pre-approved to meet facility security standards. One thing to plan for: if the inmate owes money to the jail, 50% of any deposit goes toward outstanding fees instead of being fully available for commissary. Use the CareACell portal to find the inmate, choose the deposit type, and complete payment.
