How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Grant County Corrections maintains a commissary where adults in custody can buy items at prices with a nominal markup. Since recreation services aren't taxpayer-funded, the facility allows you to mail money or bring it in to deposit to an inmate's account for commissary and recreation. For bail, the jail accepts PayPal, cash, cashier's checks, and money orders—bail can be posted by the arrestee or a third party. PayPal payments, cashier's checks, and money orders are verified through the issuing entity when possible before release, which can affect timing. To add funds: confirm which account you're funding, use an accepted method (mail, lobby/vendor options, or in person where allowed), include the inmate's name and ID, and bring valid photo ID if depositing in person or at a kiosk.
