5 Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Commissary Account at Chesapeake Jail

You can add commissary funds online through AccessCorrections at accesscorrections.com. This works well if you can't make it to the facility but want to make sure your loved one has money available for their next order.

Prefer to call? Dial 1-866-345-1884 to make a deposit by phone. Have the inmate's name and any ID information handy so the funds go to the right account.

If you're heading to the facility anyway, use the kiosk machines in the lobby to deposit commissary funds. The facility is located at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322. This is often the easiest option when you're already there - no waiting for mail or processing delays.

Chesapeake accepts mailed deposits, but the rules are strict. Send a POSTAL money order only - made payable for commissary funding - to Keefe Commissary at 400 Albemarle Dr., Chesapeake, VA 23322. Cash, personal checks, and two-party checks won't be accepted.

Here's something to keep in mind: inmates can place one commissary order per week, with a $125 maximum. Extra money beyond that won't help right away. Time your deposit so funds are available before the weekly order window.
