Three Ways to Send Money to Someone at Eddy County Detention Center (Accounts, Phone Funds, & Care Packs)

"Sending money" at Eddy County Detention Center actually means three different things, depending on what you're trying to do. General account funds (the money your loved one uses for commissary purchases) go through Access Corrections. Phone-only deposits go through Securus. And care packs are ordered separately through nmcountypackages.com.

Option A is the most flexible: add money to your loved one's general account through Access Corrections. Call 866-394-0490 or deposit online through the Access Corrections website. This is the route for everyday spending money - commissary snacks, hygiene items, and similar purchases.

Option B covers phone funds only. Eddy County Detention Center routes phone-account deposits through Securus - choose this when your loved one needs calling money, not commissary funds. Call 866-558-2323 or deposit online through the Securus website.

Option C is care packs. Instead of sending general funds, you can order a package directly. Care packs for Eddy County Detention Center are available through nmcountypackages.com. Need help with an order? Call their customer service at 1-800-546-6283.

Tips Ready

• ✓ Use Access Corrections when you want to add money to a general account for commissary-type spending.
• ✓ Use Securus when you want money to go to phone-only calling funds.
• ✓ Use nmcountypackages.com when you want to send a care pack instead of depositing funds.
• ✓ If you’re not sure what to choose, ask your loved one what they need most right now (calls vs. commissary vs. a package).

Before starting any deposit or order, gather your loved one's details so you don't get stuck mid-transaction. You'll typically need their full name, inmate ID or booking number, and the facility name (Eddy County Detention Center). Have your payment info ready too - card number, account details - so you can finish in one go.
