How to Deposit Money to an Inmate's Commissary at Matagorda County Jail (Phone, AccessCorrections, Lobby Kiosk)

Matagorda County Jail offers three ways to deposit money to an inmate's commissary account: call 866-345-1884, go online at AccessCorrections.com, or use the kiosk in the jail lobby. Whichever method you choose, have the inmate's identifying information handy so your deposit goes to the right account.

Required Identifiers

• ✓ Inmate’s full name - used to select the correct person in the system.
• ✓ Inmate’s SO number - helps avoid mix-ups with similar names.
• ✓ Inmate’s date of birth - another required identifier to make sure the deposit lands in the right account.

Phone deposits work well if you'd rather skip the computer or want help walking through the transaction. Call 866-345-1884 and have the inmate's full name, SO number, and date of birth ready - you'll need all three to make sure the money reaches the right account.

1. Call the deposit line (866-345-1884) - follow the prompts to start a commissary deposit.
2. Provide the inmate’s identifiers - give the inmate’s full name, SO number, and date of birth.
3. Enter your payment information - complete the payment portion as instructed on the call.
4. Save your confirmation - write down the reference number or keep any receipt details you’re given.

Prefer to handle it online? Matagorda County Jail uses AccessCorrections.com for commissary deposits. Before you start, grab the inmate's full name, SO number, and date of birth - you'll need these to match the correct account during checkout.

1. Go to AccessCorrections.com - start the deposit process for commissary funds.
2. Enter the inmate’s information - use the inmate’s full name, SO number, and date of birth.
3. Add your payment details - complete the payment fields to submit the deposit.
4. Confirm and keep your receipt - save the confirmation page, email receipt, or reference number for your records.

There's also a kiosk in the Matagorda County Jail lobby for in-person deposits. Bring the inmate's full name, SO number, and date of birth - you'll need those details to ensure the money goes to the correct commissary account.

If Something Goes Wrong

• ✓ Recheck the inmate’s full name, SO number, and date of birth - incorrect identifiers are one of the most common reasons a deposit doesn’t apply as expected.
• ✓ If you’re depositing by phone and hit a snag, call 866-345-1884 again - you may need to restart the prompts with the correct inmate information.
• ✓ If the issue is payment-related for an online or provider-run transaction, contact the payment provider (AccessCorrections/vendor support) and have your receipt or reference number ready.
• ✓ Keep any confirmation number or receipt until you can see the deposit posted - it’s the quickest way to track down what happened.
