Adding Money to an Inmate Account at Canyon County: What Methods Are Accepted Now

Canyon County no longer accepts cash or money orders for inmate accounts. If you show up with either one, you’ll need to switch to one of the approved electronic options instead.

Need to fund video visits or phone calls? Canyon County uses InmateSales.com for that. If helping someone stay connected is your priority, start here.

For commissary and trust fund deposits, the jail works with Summit Food Services. You can add money online through JailATM - this is the route for commissary-related spending.

Prefer to handle it in person? There's a CTel kiosk in the jail lobby where you can fund video visits or add money to an inmate's account. It takes credit and debit cards - no mailing, no troubleshooting online forms.

1. Pick the right online service - Use InmateSales.com for video-visit or phone-call funding, and use JailATM for commissary/trust deposits.
2. Look up the inmate - Search by the person’s name (and any identifying details the site requests).
3. Choose the deposit type and amount - Enter how much you want to add to the account.
4. Submit payment - Follow the checkout prompts to confirm and complete the transaction.

1. Go to the jail lobby - Use the CTel kiosk located in the lobby.
2. Select the inmate - Follow the on-screen prompts to find and choose the correct person.
3. Enter the amount - Type in how much you want to add.
4. Pay by card - Complete the deposit using a credit or debit card.
