How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money sent to someone at Idaho Maximum Security goes through the Idaho Department of Correction's vendor, Access Corrections, not through the facility directly. You can deposit into a resident's trust account using the Access Corrections website, mobile app, or by calling 866-345-1884. Additional options may include phone deposits, on-site kiosks where available, and retail cash barcode deposits at participating stores. These funds can cover commissary purchases, phone use, and certain medical or court-ordered obligations when allowed by policy. Before submitting a payment, have the resident's full name and facility ID (Name Number) ready, and make sure you've selected the correct agency or program. If you're setting up recurring electronic transfers, you may need to provide verification documents during setup.
