Trust Account vs. Pin Debit Account at Kenosha Pretrial: Which One Should You Use?
Want to help someone at Kenosha Pretrial Facility without the runaround? Send money to the right account from the start—commissary, phone/tablet, or collect-call billing.
The Trust account is the commissary account at Kenosha Pretrial Facility. This is what your loved one uses to buy snacks, beverages, and hygiene items. If you want to help them get day-to-day essentials and a few comfort items, this is where to send funds.
Trust also offers more flexibility. Inmates can move money from their Trust account into their Pin Debit account when they need to cover phone or tablet costs. The reverse isn't possible.
Pin Debit is strictly for communications and device services - not snacks or hygiene. These funds let inmates make phone calls and pay for tablet services. If the issue is "they need to call me more" or "they're out of tablet time," Pin Debit is the right account.
AdvancePay works differently. It's a prepaid collect-calling account for friends and family. When you fund it, the inmate can place collect calls to the specific phone number tied to that AdvancePay account.

- ✓ Inmates can transfer funds from their Trust account to their Pin Debit account.
- ✓ Pin Debit funds cannot be moved back into the Trust account.
Match the account to the need. Commissary items like snacks, drinks, and hygiene? Trust account. Phone calls and tablet services? Pin Debit. Need collect calls to reach a specific phone number? Fund the AdvancePay account linked to that number.
Tip: Not sure what they'll need most? Go with the Trust account. Funds can move from Trust to Pin Debit, but not the other way around.
