How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Commissary and approved-package purchases at Hyde Correctional Institution go through Union Supply Direct using the pre-approved shopping pages for North Carolina adult correctional facilities. If the incarcerated person gets placed on control status before an order ships, Union Supply Direct cancels the order and refunds you minus a $5.00 restocking fee. For sending spending money, North Carolina typically uses third-party deposit vendors with options like web/mobile, phone, walk-in/kiosk, or money orders. Deposits go into the person's trust/commissary account, and any remaining balance is returned when they transfer or are released. To avoid delays, follow the vendor's instructions exactly and enter the person's booked name and inmate/account number on the required form.
