How to Send Money to Kenosha Pretrial Facility (WI)

At Kenosha Pretrial Facility, the account you choose determines what the money can be used for. A Trust account (sometimes called a commissary account) covers purchases like snacks, beverages, and hygiene items. A Pin Debit account works differently. Money in Pin Debit goes toward phone calls and tablet services. If your main goal is helping with calls or tablet access, this is the account to fund.

You can make a trust, pin debit, or phone deposit 24/7 through ConnectNetwork or by calling 888-428-1845. When setting up, choose Kenosha County WI (SiteID 202). Have the inmate's first and last name (or ID number) ready, plus a credit or debit card for payment. You'll need to verify you're depositing to the correct inmate before the transaction completes.

Online and phone deposits include a convenience fee. You'll see and approve that fee before the transaction goes through. The fee comes out of the amount deposited into the inmate's account. For Trust deposits, plan around these caps: $200 per transaction, $300 daily, $1,000 weekly, and $3,000 monthly.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Gather the inmate’s first and last name (or ID number) and your credit/debit card
• ✓ Decide where the money needs to go: Trust (commissary), Pin Debit (calls and tablet services), or phone/AdvancePay
• ✓ Use ConnectNetwork and select Kenosha County WI (SiteID 202), or deposit by phone at 888-428-1845
• ✓ Review the convenience fee for online/phone deposits and approve it to continue (the fee is deducted from the amount deposited)
• ✓ Verify you selected the correct inmate and the correct transaction type before you submit
• ✓ Keep your receipt (a receipt is issued from the lobby kiosk for the depositor)

If you're adding money to a Trust account, keep the deposit limits in mind so your payment doesn't get rejected. Trust deposits max out at $200 per transaction, with a $300 daily cap, $1,000 weekly cap, and $3,000 monthly cap.

Choose Trust when you want to help with commissary items like food, drinks, and hygiene products. Choose Pin Debit when you want to help with phone calls and tablet services. Remember the one-way transfer rule: inmates can move money from Trust to Pin Debit, but Pin Debit funds can't go back to Trust. That's why picking the right destination upfront matters.

1. Confirm you are using the right system: Use ConnectNetwork and select Kenosha County WI (SiteID 202), or call 888-428-1845 for deposits.
2. Check the convenience fee before you pay: Online/phone deposits include a convenience fee that you must approve before completing the transaction.
3. Make sure you understand the fee impact: The convenience fee is deducted from the amount deposited into the inmate’s account.

1. Re-check Trust deposit caps: Trust deposits are capped at $200 per transaction, $300 per day, $1,000 per week, and $3,000 per month.
2. Confirm the transfer rule: Money can be moved from Trust to Pin Debit by the inmate, but Pin Debit funds cannot be moved back into Trust.

Before you hit submit, double-check the inmate name and transaction type. The facility's policy is clear: no refunds when money goes to the wrong account. The lobby kiosk prints a receipt for the depositor, so keep it for your records.
