How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
If you're visiting Dodge Correctional Institution, you can bring up to $25 in change (no paper money) for the visiting-center vending machines. Keep the coins in a clear pouch. You cannot leave money for a person in custody at DCI, and food or drinks cannot be shared during visits. To send funds, families typically use third-party deposit options like online portals, kiosks, phone vendors, or mail. Have the person's full name and ID ready. If you mail funds, money orders or cashier's checks are the usual options (not cash or personal checks). Wisconsin DOC is transitioning tablet services to ICSolutions, so messaging through ICS tablets requires a Getting Out (GTL) account. ICSolutions video visits require a Party ID provided to the person in custody.
