How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Eden Detention Center lets you leave money for deposit to a detainee's account. If you leave money or property at the facility, staff must give you a receipt (unless you hand it directly to the detainee). Deposits can be made through approved vendors, a facility kiosk, or by mail using accepted payment types. Confirm the facility's approved options before sending anything. Don't send cash or personal checks. Use a money order, cashier's check, or an approved vendor system instead. Expect service fees and vendor-specific processing rules for kiosks and third-party services. The Inmate Trust Fund office can confirm whether a deposit was received, but won't share balances or transaction details with anyone except the inmate. Follow centralized deposit instructions rather than mailing funds to a facility address.
