How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Commissary at Chillicothe Correctional Institution runs twice per week—once during holiday weeks. To help with commissary purchases, add money to the inmate's trust/commissary account using the facility's approved deposit channels: online portals, phone deposits, mobile apps, lobby kiosks, or certain retail services. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready, since most methods require both. Some options require you to register or create an account first. Plan for added costs—third-party payment vendors charge convenience or processing fees that vary by provider. Confirm the authorized methods and fee schedule before sending funds.
