How to Send Money & Order Commissary for an Inmate at Forsyth County Jail
Want to help someone at Forsyth County Jail? The process is straightforward once you know which methods the jail accepts. Here are the approved ways to add money and order commissary—so your deposit or order doesn't get rejected.
Forsyth County Jail has a kiosk in the lobby where you can add money to an inmate's commissary account in person. It takes credit cards, debit cards, and cash - convenient if you're already there and want to handle everything at once.
Prefer to do it from home? You can add money online through the Jail ATM website. Create an account if you don't have one, click "send money now," and follow the prompts to complete your deposit.
Friends and family must use the Jail ATM website to order commissary items - it's the only approved method. The jail won't accept packages from other websites or homemade "care packages" sent through the mail. Those will be refused.
Planning to order a care package? Keep the weekly limit in mind. Inmates can only receive one care package per week from friends or family.
There's also a dollar cap on commissary orders, set by the Jail Administrator. This limit can affect whether your order goes through. If you need the current amount, check with the inmate's housing deputy before placing your order.
