How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending or paying money connected to Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex? Start by matching the payment to the right system. Drug testing fees can be paid online through the Access Corrections App. Supervision fees, restitution, fines, and court costs go through the local Circuit Court Clerk's Office, P&P kiosks, or other approved payment points based on facility guidance. For commissary and phone funds, options typically include third-party vendor portals, lobby kiosks, phone deposit services, or mailed money orders—but exact methods, vendors, and posting rules vary by location. Some vendor systems allow transfers between commissary and phone accounts when the facility permits. Before depositing, confirm the accepted methods and vendors through the facility's official instructions.
