How to Add Money to an Inmate's Account at Hillsborough County Jail
Adding money to someone's jail account is pretty straightforward once you have the right info. Here are the deposit options and requirements specific to Hillsborough County Jail.
At Hillsborough County Jail, deposits go to an inmate's account, but the money doesn't all go straight to canteen. Any deposit first covers outstanding debts tied to that inmate, including fees from previous incarcerations. Only what's left after those debts becomes available for canteen purchases. Commissary (also called canteen) orders are available to inmates at Hillsborough County Jail, and the service is provided by Aramark Correctional Services. If a deposit seems to "disappear" quickly, this debt-first rule is usually why.
