How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Daviess County Detention Center accepts deposits through the Building 1 lobby kiosk 24 hours a day. You can use cash or credit, though credit-card deposits can't push an inmate's balance above $300. Prefer to mail money? Send a cashier's check, certified check, or money order payable to Daviess County Detention Center. Include both the inmate's name and the sender's name—never send cash. Government checks are accepted only as two-party checks payable to the incarcerated inmate and must be deposited in full. One thing to know: 50% of all deposits may be deducted to cover outstanding fees, including state and federal obligations. Commissary orders go through the kiosk under "New Order." Deadlines are midnight CST on Sundays and Wednesdays, with deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays. There's a $150 limit per commissary day (or $300 if commissary runs only once that week due to a holiday).
