Send Money and Commissary at Hampton Roads Regional Jail.

Review available deposit, commissary, money order, and online payment information for sending money to an inmate at Hampton Roads Regional Jail.

Overview

Sending money to someone at Hampton Roads Regional Jail goes through a supported deposit channel: a third-party online portal, an on-site lobby kiosk or ATM, phone deposit, or mailed certified funds. Before you pay, confirm which vendor or method the facility accepts, since options, fees, and processing times vary. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready. Deposits typically require both, and mailed certified funds also need your name and return address on the envelope. If a deposit doesn't show up, start with the payment vendor's support. Then follow up with the jail's commissary or finance office if needed. Do not mail checks, money orders, or attorney-client privileged items to the Phoenix, MD mailing address. It only accepts personal letters, pictures, and drawings.

How to Send Money to Facility

Trying to send money to someone at Hampton Roads Regional Jail? Don't mail checks or money orders to P.O. Box 247 in Phoenix, Maryland. That address is only for personal mail (letters, pictures, and drawings) that gets digitally delivered. For personal mail to reach the right person, your envelope needs the complete facility name and state (spelled out, no abbreviations), the incarcerated person's full name and identifier, and your full name and physical return address. The jail handles money deposits through a separate process that isn't detailed in the available information. You'll need to verify the correct method directly with the facility before sending any funds.
