Commissary at Canyon County Jail: how to deposit money, order deadlines, and the $75 weekly limit
Getting commissary money to someone at Canyon County Jail comes down to timing. Here's what you need to know: who runs commissary, how to add funds, the Tuesday 5:00 p.m. cutoff, and how the $75 weekly limit works.
Summit Food Services runs commissary at Canyon County Jail. They handle everything your loved one can buy - snacks, hygiene extras, and other basics. Your job? Make sure money is in their commissary account (also called a trust account) before the order deadline.
You can add money online through JailATM (www.jailatm.com). Deposits go directly into the inmate's commissary account, which is where purchases are drawn from.
Another option: deposit funds in person at the kiosk in the jail's visitation lobby. It takes credit and debit cards, which is convenient if you're already at the facility and need to add money fast.
Note: Canyon County no longer accepts inmate funds via money orders or cash.
Saturday is commissary day. That's when orders get distributed - the weekly finish line your loved one is working toward.
Money needs to hit the account by Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. to count toward that week's order. Miss the cutoff, and the deposit may roll to the next Saturday's distribution instead.
There's a $75.00 weekly spending cap on commissary. Depositing more than that still helps - the extra carries over to future weeks - but it won't let them buy more right now.
The jail provides basic hygiene items free to all inmates. Commissary is for extras - people who want more variety or prefer to buy their own.
