How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money to an inmate's account at Leblanc Unit using money orders, cashier's checks, ACH transfers, or vendor services like Access Corrections, ACE, eCommDirect, JPay, and TouchPay. One important rule: since September 1, 2020, only people on the inmate's Approved Visitor list or Inmate Telephone List can make deposits. Don't mail trust fund deposits or personal mail to the unit's addressâuse the vendor or centralized deposit instructions instead, or your payment may be returned. Expect service fees from vendors and kiosks, and processing times vary. If you need to verify a deposit went through, the Inmate Trust Fund office can confirm receipt but won't share account balances or transaction details with third parties.
