How to Send Money to Lee County-Tupelo Jail, MS (FL)

According to Lee County-Tupelo Jail's information page, all inmate funds are added through web deposits. Money orders are not accepted. Commissary service is handled by Tiger Correctional Services, so the money you send typically goes toward commissary purchases. For communication services, the jail directs visitors to City Tele Coin for "direct pay" account registration and the City Tele Coin app. City Tele Coin also has a live-operator hotline if you run into trouble setting up your account. One thing to double-check before you send money: the jail's page doesn't specify the exact web-deposit portal, and City Tele Coin is referenced specifically for video and direct-pay services. If you're only trying to fund commissary, confirm which system to use so your money lands in the right place.

Sec2

• ✓ Create a direct pay account through City Tele Coin’s website (then download the City Tele Coin app).
• ✓ Add funds using the jail’s web deposit method (this is the stated way to safely and securely add money to an inmate).

• ✓ If you are trying to cover commissary, start with Tiger Correctional Services (they handle inmate commissary for this jail).
• ✓ Plan around the deadline: commissary orders must be completed by Wednesday before 4:00 PM.
• ✓ Confirm the exact commissary ordering and funding process so deposits are applied correctly and on time.

Need help setting up a City Tele Coin account for direct pay services? Call their live operator "Inmate Hotline" at (318) 746-1114. When you call, ask whether City Tele Coin handles only video and direct-pay features, or if it's also the system the jail uses for depositing inmate funds.

Timing matters too. The jail states video visitation is available seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM, which is relevant if you're funding an account for those services. For commissary, verify that the Wednesday before 4:00 PM cutoff still applies, especially around holidays or schedule changes.

1. Ask which system to use for deposits: Confirm whether Tiger Correctional Services takes web deposits directly for commissary, or if the jail uses a separate third-party web deposit portal.
2. Get the official vendor name and process: If a third-party portal is used, request the exact vendor name and the official instructions so you do not send money to the wrong place.
3. Confirm how you can pay: Since money orders are not accepted, ask what payment methods the web deposit system accepts before you submit your first deposit.
4. Request confirmation of where the funds will post: Before you finalize, make sure you understand whether your deposit goes to general inmate funds, commissary use, or a specific service balance.
