How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You have two main ways to add funds for someone at Goodman Unit. For mail deposits, send a money order or cashier's check payable to "Inmate Trust Fund for Offender Name and Number." Include the deposit slip and mail it to the Inmate Trust Fund at PO Box 60 (follow the facility's instructions). You can also deposit through third-party services: AccessCorrections, ACE, eCommDirect, JPAY, MoneyGram, and TouchPay all work, using the vendor websites or phone numbers provided by the facility. Don't send cash or personal checks—stick to accepted payment types to avoid delays or returned payments. Before paying, confirm any sender-approval requirements and plan for service fees and vendor-specific processing rules.
