How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can fund an inmate's account at Lea County Correctional Facility through an approved third-party processor (online or by phone), at a lobby kiosk, or by mailing a money order. Commissary purchases come from this account, so deposits need to clear before purchases go through. Most deposits require the inmate's full name and facility inmate ID, and the facility may require specific formatting. If you mail funds, many facilities accept only money orders or cashier's checks and may limit mailed deposits to approved senders. Posting times and sender-approval rules vary. Double-check the exact mailing format to avoid a returned or rejected deposit.
