How to Send Money to Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility, Wi, NE (NE)
If you're trying to help someone at Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF), the first thing to know: "phone money" and "spend money" are handled separately. MSDF uses a different phone system than county facilities, so any county phone funds won't carry over. To receive collect calls from MSDF, you'll need to set up an account with Securus. For sending funds, don't mail or bring money directly to the facility. Deposits go through Access Corrections Secure Deposit, and you can also use approved walk-in providers (CashPayToday is one example used by Wisconsin DOC). Stick to the approved channels so your deposit reaches the right account without delays or rejections.
Note: Access Corrections lists a daily deposit limit of $2,900 for people in DOC care. If you need to send more, you'll have to split it across multiple days.
Before sending anything, confirm the details that change: fees, processing times, accepted payment types (online, phone, mail, walk-in), and the current list of approved walk-in providers. These specifics are controlled by the vendors and the DOC. Getting them right prevents your funds from being delayed or rejected.
Steps
- ✓ Set up a Securus account if you want to accept collect calls from MSDF.
- ✓ Do not rely on county jail phone funds. MSDF’s phone system is separate.
- ✓ Send funds through Access Corrections Secure Deposit or an approved walk-in provider, not directly to MSDF.
- Check the daily cap before you submit a deposit. Access Corrections lists a $2,900 daily limit for deposits to people in DOC care.
- Split larger support into multiple days if needed. If your total is over the limit, plan separate deposits so you do not hit the cap.
Verify: MSDF collect calls require a Securus account. County phone funds don't transfer to MSDF. If you already have a county account, check directly whether anything can be reused (usually it can't).
Verify: Use Access Corrections Secure Deposit for MSDF money deposits. Confirm which walk-in providers are currently approved (CashPayToday is one example in Wisconsin DOC).
Deposit rules sometimes include multiple limits. Access Corrections lists a $2,900 daily cap for people in DOC care, but confirm any other restrictions that might apply (transaction limits, limits by payment type, or holds). While you're checking, ask about service fees and typical processing times for your chosen method.
