How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can usually add money to an inmate account through an online payment portal, a lobby kiosk, a phone deposit, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Available methods depend on the provider. Vendors, fees, and exact steps vary by facility, so confirm the current instructions before sending funds. In Florida, common vendor names include JPay, TouchPay, and Access Corrections, but verify which one applies before making a payment. When depositing, have the inmate's full name and booking number or ID ready. Complete every required field clearly with valid contact information so the vendor can process or return the payment if there's a problem. For federal inmates, financial and commissary transactions go through TRUFACS.
