How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
The easiest confirmed way to add funds for someone at Churchill Detention Facility is the on-site deposit kiosk in the Sheriff's Office foyer. Other deposit methods commonly used in jails include a deposit coupon with a cashier's check or money order, facility-approved third-party online or card services, lobby kiosks, or in-person deposits, but availability depends on the facility's rules. Money placed in an inmate trust or commissary account typically goes toward commissary purchases, phone and tablet services, and other approved items. If you mail a money order or cashier's check, expect it to be held for review before release, which can delay availability. For in-person deposits, bring a valid photo ID and have the inmate's full name and ID number ready. Accepted payment types vary by location.
