How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
High Security Center uses Access Secure Deposits (Access Corrections) for trust-account deposits. You can pay online, by phone, at kiosks, at cash-pay retail locations, or by mail. For in-person deposits, the Inmate Accounts window is open Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–11:00 AM and 1:00 PM–3:00 PM (closed on state holidays). Bring photo ID—a driver's license, state ID, or passport works. You also need to be on the inmate's visiting list, though RIDOC allows a 30-day grace period so you can deposit before that enrollment is finalized. Electronic and retail payments typically post faster than mail.
