How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add funds for someone at Lewis and Clark County Detention Center either in person at the lobby kiosk or online through NCIC (NCIC.com). At the kiosk, cash deposits carry a $4 funding fee, while credit-card deposits add a $4 fee plus a 4% processing charge. If you bring cash to the lobby, you'll still need to deposit it through the public kiosk. It gets credited to the inmate's commissary account. The lobby also lets you drop off a full book of stamps or medication. Online deposits through NCIC have their own fee, and the money may not be available immediately. You can manage NCIC accounts and communications like prepaid calling, video visits, and messaging at account.ncic.com.
