How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Hampden County PRC accepts inmate deposits at the Public Lobby kiosk and through Access Secure Deposits (by phone or at inmatedeposits.com). Deposit options can vary, so confirm what the facility accepts before trying another method. When making a deposit, follow the payment provider's instructions and have the inmate's name and any required commitment or register number ready. Keep security rules in mind: personal belongings aren't allowed past the Public Lobby. Store items in the coin-operated lockers or lock them in your vehicle. Never try to pass money or other items directly to an inmate. Attempting to introduce contraband or deliver unauthorized articles can lead to arrest and criminal prosecution under Massachusetts law.
