Send Money at Joliet Treatment Center, IL

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

Money you send to someone at Joliet Treatment Center typically goes into a trust or commissary account. The facility may apply deposits to outstanding fines, fees, or other court-ordered obligations before any funds become available for commissary or phone use. Deposits are commonly made through approved online vendors, lobby or visitation kiosks, retail payment agents, or by mailing a payment to the facility's approved vendor. Confirm which options are accepted before you send money. Many facilities use real-time account systems where purchases and payments post automatically, but new deposits can still be pulled toward existing debts. Electronic deposits usually post faster than mailed payments, and transfers between facilities can delay availability. Always include the incarcerated person's full name and booking/ID number or date of birth.
