How to Send Money to Facility

This facility offers three ways to deposit funds into an inmate's canteen account. The clearest option: mail a money order made out to the inmate. Any amount works, and the inmate can deposit it into their account once it arrives. If you'd rather handle it in person, there's a lobby kiosk at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office front lobby. It accepts cash or credit card, charges a processing fee, and the funds hit the inmate's account immediately. The facility mentions a third deposit option, but details on that method, along with exact fees, hours, and deposit limits, aren't available in the information provided here.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Decide which deposit method you will use (the facility references three options, but only money orders by mail and the in-person lobby kiosk are described here).
• ✓ If you are mailing funds, purchase a money order made out to the inmate and follow the facility’s required mail format and inmate-identifying details so it can be deposited to their canteen account.
• ✓ If you can deposit in person, use the lobby kiosk in the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office front lobby to add funds with cash or a credit card.
• ✓ Expect a processing fee when you use the kiosk and keep your receipt until you confirm the funds were credited.

1. Confirm all available deposit methods. The facility mentions three ways to add funds, but only two are spelled out here (mailing a money order and using the Sheriff’s Office lobby kiosk).
2. Ask about fees before you pay. The kiosk charges a processing fee, but the amount is not provided here. Confirm whether any other method also has fees.
3. Verify kiosk access details. Confirm the kiosk location in the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office lobby and any access rules that might affect when you can use it.
4. Double-check money order instructions. Confirm the correct mailing format and exactly what inmate identifiers must be included so the money order can be credited to the right person.
5. Ask about limits and problem-solving. Find out if there are deposit limits, any hold periods, and what the refund or dispute process is if a deposit goes to the wrong account or does not post.
