How to Send Money to Canyon County Jail (ID)

Canyon County Jail uses InmateSales.com for scheduling visits and adding money for video visits and phone calls. If you're at the jail in person, there's also a CTel kiosk in the lobby where you can fund an inmate's video visit account. Commissary is a separate system, handled through Summit Food Services. You can add trust or commissary money online at JailATM.com, or load funds in the jail's visitation lobby using a credit or debit card.

Note: Fees, deposit limits, processing times, and kiosk availability can change. Before sending a large deposit, confirm the current rules and accepted payment types.

How to Send Money to Canyon County Jail (ID)

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Use InmateSales.com if you need to schedule a visit or add money for video visits and phone calls.
  • ✓ If you’re depositing money in person for video visits, use the CTel kiosk in the jail lobby.
  • ✓ For commissary (trust) funds, use JailATM.com online.
  • ✓ If you prefer to pay in person for commissary (trust) funds, add money in the jail visitation lobby using a credit or debit card.
  • ✓ Remember that commissary at Canyon County Jail is provided by Summit Food Services, so commissary funding routes through the trust/commissary process (not the video-visit funding).

Tip: Save your receipt and confirmation number after every payment. If there's a delay or posting issue, that transaction info is the first thing support teams will ask for.

  1. Confirm you’re using the right system. Video visits and phone calls run through InmateSales.com (or the CTel lobby kiosk for video-visit funding). Commissary and trust deposits go through JailATM.com or the visitation-lobby card option.
  2. Check payment rules before you submit. Look for accepted payment types, deposit limits, and any fees inside the system you’re using (InmateSales.com, the CTel kiosk, or JailATM.com).
  3. Ask how fast funds post to the account. Processing time can affect when your person can use commissary funds or schedule and use paid services.
