How to Send Money to Grant County Jail for Commissary and Recreation

Recreation services at Grant County Jail aren't funded by taxpayer dollars. The extras that help people stay occupied - time and space for activities - come from money placed on their accounts.

The jail runs a commissary where people can purchase items at a nominal markup. When you add funds to someone's account, you're giving them a way to buy what they need - and those commissary dollars help keep programs and recreation running.

You can get money onto someone's account two ways: mail it in, or bring it to the facility in person. If you're not local, mailing is convenient. If you're nearby, dropping it off can feel more direct.

• ✓ Include the adult in custody’s name (and any ID number the jail uses, if you have it)
• ✓ Decide whether you’ll mail the funds or bring them to the facility in person
• ✓ Confirm the current payee details and any formatting requirements with the facility before you send anything

Commissary is the in-jail store where people can buy items. Prices include a nominal markup. Having money on the account means your loved one can make purchases when commissary is available.

Recreation at Grant County Jail depends on account funding - it's not covered by taxpayer dollars. The facility offers both indoor and outdoor activities, including basketball, library access, ping pong, television, and weights.

1. Confirm the preferred method with the jail - Ask whether they want you to mail funds or bring them in, and verify the correct payee details.
2. Label everything clearly - Use the adult in custody’s full name (and their ID number if you have it) so the money is credited to the right account.
3. Use the county address as your starting point - 201 S Humbolt Street Suite 280, Canyon City, OR 97820.
