Can You Deposit Cash for an Inmate? Walk-In Options for Ellen Halbert Unit
Prefer paying in cash? You've got several ways to add money to an inmate's account at the Ellen Halbert Unit. Here are the walk-in and cash-friendly options people use most.
Yes - cash walk-in deposits work for the Ellen Halbert Unit through the Access Corrections network. Most participating stores accept deposits from 8am to 9pm, and some locations are open 24/7. This is a solid choice if you'd rather skip the card or just prefer handling things in person.
Not set on cash? Access Corrections is also the main online option for deposits to the Ellen Halbert Unit. You can make a deposit directly through the Access Corrections website.
Dollar General is one of the easiest walk-in options, but there's a catch: you need to enroll and get a barcode first. Head to CashPayToday.com or call 1.844.340.2274 to sign up, find locations, and grab the barcode you'll need at the register.
Tip: Confirm the store's hours before you go and have your barcode ready. Most locations run 8am–9pm, though some are 24/7. Walking in with your barcode in hand speeds things up at the counter.
