How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Central Virginia Regional Jail accepts inmate deposits through an on-site ATM in the front lobby that takes credit, debit, and cash. You can also send funds online through the JailATM portal, which is often the fastest option for family and friends. In some cases, money must be mailed rather than brought to the jail. Certain deposit methods were discontinued after July 1, 2017, so confirm which deposit type you're using before you go. If you mail a deposit, use the facility's published mailing address and follow their instructions closely. Always include the inmate's full name and ID number so the funds reach the correct account.
