Chesapeake Jail Commissary: How to Deposit Money and Make the Most of the $125 Weekly Limit

Chesapeake Correctional Center limits commissary to one order per week, maxing out at $125. Even if you deposit more than that, your loved one can't place multiple orders or spend beyond the $125 cap. So timing your deposits matters - there's no benefit to front-loading a huge balance.

The fastest way to add funds is online through Access Corrections at accesscorrections.com. This is the facility's official online deposit route and where most people start when they can't make it to the jail in person.

Prefer not to go online? You can deposit by phone through the commissary vendor at 1-866-345-1884. It's a solid option when you need to handle things remotely but don't want to deal with a website.

If you're heading to the facility anyway, there's a kiosk in the lobby at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322. Quick and straightforward for in-person deposits.

You can mail deposits too, but only as postal money orders. Send them to Keefe Commissary at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322. Cash and personal checks won't be accepted - stick to postal money orders or your deposit will be rejected.

First Depositor Tips

• ✓ Double-check you’re using the right deposit channel for Chesapeake Correctional Center: Access Corrections online (accesscorrections.com), phone deposits, the lobby kiosk, or a postal money order mailed to Keefe Commissary.
• ✓ If you’re depositing at the facility, confirm you’re at the lobby kiosk inside the Chesapeake Correctional Center at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322.
• ✓ If you’re mailing funds, make sure it’s a postal money order only and that it’s addressed to Keefe Commissary at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322.

After depositing through Access Corrections, save your confirmation details - you'll need them if something goes wrong. Same goes for phone deposits: jot down the date and that you called 1-866-345-1884. One heads-up: Access Corrections handles other payment types too (bail, court fees, probation payments), so double-check you're selecting the commissary option specifically.
