How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To receive electronic payments for residents at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, you'll need to submit the facility's combined W-9/direct deposit form along with an original voided check or bank verification. Deposit slips are not accepted. The SCO also requires the direct deposit form to be signed, and the supporting bank documentation must be dated within three months of submission. If you prefer other deposit options, Idaho DOC payment systems commonly offer multiple methods: online or mobile app payments, phone payments, retail cash barcode deposits, and on-site kiosks. Whichever method you use, double-check the resident's full name and facility ID exactly as listed. Select the correct agency or program so the funds post to the right account.

Sending money connected to District Vi Juvenile Detention Center involves paperwork that looks more like a state payment setup than a typical jail deposit. Here's what matters most, and what to confirm before you submit anything.
If your child is held at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, one deadline matters immediately: a Detention Hearing must be scheduled within 24 hours (weekends and holidays excluded). At that hearing, the court decides whether your child stays in detention, goes home, or is placed in an alternate setting until the next court date. Expect the early intake steps to move fast. Families are notified of custody as soon as possible, and youth may be fingerprinted and photographed during processing. In some cases, a youth can be released to a parent who signs a written promise to bring them to court at a stated time, unless a judge orders otherwise or release is not considered to promote the welfare of the community or the youth. This page covers what's confirmed about the detention timeline. Visiting hours, approval requirements, ID rules, and what you can bring are not addressed by the available information here. You'll need to confirm those details directly with the facility or the juvenile court.
