How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Central Virginia Regional Jail gives you a few ways to fund an inmate account. The front lobby has an ATM that accepts credit, debit, and cash. You can also deposit online through JailATM. For mailed payments, the jail publishes a mailing address—some deposit types can only be sent by mail, and certain methods were discontinued after July 1, 2017. When mailing certified funds, include the inmate's full name and ID number, plus your return address, so the payment credits correctly. Fees and posting times vary by method, so review the terms before sending. If a deposit doesn't show up, contact the payment vendor or the jail's finance/commissary office.
