How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
West Valley Detention Center (WVDC) has 24/7 lobby kiosks for in-person deposits. They accept cash, credit, or debit—but not personal checks or money orders. Money added to an inmate's trust account covers commissary, phone time, and other permitted purchases. Some deposits may be reduced by authorized deductions. Commissary ordering happens once a week, and inmates can't spend more than $200 total per week (phone time included). If you're considering other deposit methods, confirm what WVDC accepts and have the booking number or ID details ready. Posting times and vendor fees affect when funds become available. Don't mail cash—use the kiosk or follow approved vendor instructions.
