For general funds (commissary-style deposits), Garfield County Jail uses Access Corrections. This account covers typical commissary purchases like snacks, hygiene items, and stationery. Depending on how the jail applies the balance, it may also cover phone or tablet time. You have several ways to add money. From home, use the Access Corrections website or mobile app. Prefer the phone? Call 1-866-345-1884 to deposit. If you're already visiting the jail, there's a kiosk in the reception and visitation room. This works well if you'd rather pay in person or need to make a deposit while you're on-site.

Note: Fees may apply to deposits. Also, if the inmate owes any debt, the jail may collect it from money you deposit into their account.

For tablet-specific funds, Garfield County Jail uses GettingOut. This is separate from the general Access Corrections commissary deposit. This separation matters. Money sent to the wrong place won't show up where your loved one needs it. If you meant to fund tablet use but deposited through Access Corrections, those funds become a general deposit instead. Double-check that you're selecting the tablet option through GettingOut when you make your deposit.

Note: Fees may apply to deposits. Before you add more funds, it’s worth confirming how any vendor fees affect the tablet balance.

For pre-paid phone accounts, Garfield County Jail uses ICSolutions. This is separate from a general commissary deposit. A pre-paid phone account is tied to calling and can be set up so the inmate can only call one specific number you designate. If your main goal is making sure calls go through to one reliable number (your cell, a home phone, or another approved line), the ICSolutions pre-paid account is the way to go.

Note: Fees may apply. Check how phone funds are billed so you know how long the balance should last.

Tips

  • Confirm which system you need before paying: Access Corrections for general commissary deposits, GettingOut for tablet funds, ICSolutions for a pre-paid phone account.
  • Expect fees to apply to deposits.
  • Remember that inmate debts may be collected from money deposited into their account.
  • Ask your loved one to check their balance on their side before you send more, especially if you are trying to fund a specific use (tablet vs phone vs general).
  • Save your receipt and any confirmation details from the deposit in case you need to track it later.
