How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Green Bay Corrections Institution does not allow visitors to bring items or money directly to someone in custody. Instead, commissary orders go through WIDOC-approved vendors listed on the WIDOC public website. To add funds, use an approved deposit method (online, phone, kiosk, walk-in, or mail) and have the person's full name and ID ready. Mail and walk-in deposits are capped at $2,900 per day, so plan ahead if you need to send a larger amount. For walk-in cash deposits, use CashPayToday locations. You can enroll for walk-in deposits by calling 844-340-2274. Specialty commissary personal care packages are limited to $150 per DOC resident per vendor per quarter, with a $20 minimum per order. Note that deposits may be applied to outstanding debts before the remaining balance becomes available for commissary.
