Putting Money on an Inmate’s Account & Setting Up Phone Access at Lincoln County Jail (City Tele Coin)
Helping someone at Lincoln County Jail with commissary or phone calls is pretty straightforward—you just need to know where to pay and when the money has to arrive.
The lobby kiosk at the jail lets you add money to an inmate's commissary account in person. It takes both cash and credit cards.
Prefer to handle it from home? You can add money through the City Tele Coin website at citytelecoin.com.
City Tele Coin also takes payments by phone. Call 1-318-746-1114 and follow the prompts.
Timing matters. For money to count toward that week's commissary order, it has to arrive by Thursday at 2 p.m.
Orders go out on Wednesday. Miss the Thursday 2 p.m. cutoff, and your deposit rolls to the next week's cycle.
Lobby Kiosk Practical
- ✓ Cash or a credit card (the lobby kiosk accepts both)
- ✓ Enough time to complete your deposit before the Thursday 2 p.m. cutoff if you want it to count for that week’s commissary order

The lobby kiosk accepts cash or credit. Keep your receipt - if there's ever a question about whether funds arrived on time, that's your proof.
