How to Add Money to an Inmate’s Account at Emanuel County Jail

Money gets added in one of two ways, depending on what you're paying for. For commissary purchases, make an online deposit through Stewart at commissarydeposit.com using a debit or credit card. For phone services, HomeWAV handles that - either online through their website or at the kiosk in the jail lobby.

1. Go to commissarydeposit.com - This is the online system used to deposit money into an inmate’s account with a credit or debit card.
2. Start a deposit and pick the location - Choose Georgia from the first drop-down, then select Emanuel County Jail from the next one.
3. Look up the inmate - Enter the inmate’s ID number or name so the system can find the correct account.
4. Choose your amount and pay - Complete the deposit using your debit or credit card.
5. Save your confirmation - Keep a copy of your receipt or confirmation details in case you need to follow up later.
