How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Indio Jail lets you deposit money into an inmate's account for commissary items like hygiene products, phone cards, and writing materials. Four options: Access Corrections online, Access Corrections by phone (1-866-345-1884), a lobby kiosk, or a U.S. Postal money order. The lobby kiosks in the Indio jail lobby take cash or credit card deposits and are open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 9 pm. Plan ahead—the kiosk doesn't give change and won't accept bills smaller than $5. If you mail a money order, write the inmate's full name and booking number on the front. Cash or personal checks sent by mail will be marked "Return to Sender." For commissary ordering, AccessCatalog points to the Access Secure Pak website. Unclaimed funds move to an unclaimed account for three years, with claims processed within 60 days.
