How to send money or order commissary for someone at Chippewa County Jail (Jail ATM fees & methods)

Chippewa County Jail gives you two ways to put money on an inmate's account: the in-person lobby ATM or an online deposit through the Jail ATM website. Both let friends and family add funds without mailing cash or checks.

For in-person deposits, head to the lobby ATM in Chippewa County Jail's main lobby. The machine takes cash, plus Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit and debit cards. To find the right person, enter their last name or inmate ID number at the kiosk.

For online deposits, visit the Jail ATM website and pay with a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card. Select the County Jail from the facility menu, then search for the inmate by name. Once your card is approved, funds hit the account immediately.

Fees Expected

• ✓ Lobby ATM (cash deposit): $4 fee

• ✓ Credit card deposit transactions: nonrefundable fee of $3.50 or 10% of the deposit amount (whichever is greater)

Want to order commissary items instead? You can do that through the Jail ATM website too. The process is similar: select the County Jail from the facility menu, search for the inmate by name, and place your order.

Commissary orders don't arrive instantly. They ship to the facility with the next regularly scheduled commissary delivery from the provider.

Practical Tips

• ✓ If you’re trying to spend less on fees, compare the lobby ATM cash-deposit fee ($4) against the credit-card fee (nonrefundable $3.50 or 10% of the deposit amount, whichever is greater).

• ✓ Before you hit “submit,” double-check the inmate’s last name and (if you have it) the inmate ID number when using the lobby ATM.
• ✓ On the Jail ATM website, make sure you’ve selected the correct County Jail from the facility menu before you search by name.

Need funds there fast? Online deposits through Jail ATM credit immediately once your card is approved. Commissary orders take longer - they ship with the next scheduled delivery, so factor in time for processing, shipping, and distribution inside the jail.
