How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money at Galveston County Jail through several deposit channels. Automated options like AdvancePay, PinDebit, and DebitLink post immediately to the inmate's accounts. Trust Fund deposits submitted online or by phone are transmitted to the facility within one business day. To fund phone and PIN services through ConnectNetwork, create an account, add the facility and inmate, and follow the payment steps (phone deposits may require the facility "Site ID"). ConnectNetwork also lets you start a deposit online and complete it with cash at thousands of participating retail locations. For AdvancePay by mail, send a check or money order payable to AdvancePay Service Department and include your account number. Trust Fund deposits commonly range from $10 to $100 and are final with no refunds. PIN Debit is for phone calls only, and unused funds are refunded at release.
