How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility doesn't accept funds sent directly to the facility. Use Access Corrections Secure Deposit or CashPayToday walk-in providers instead. Money deposited through these channels goes to the resident's account for commissary purchases and other authorized uses—though it may be reduced by outstanding debts.

Have the resident's full name and ID ready before depositing so funds go to the correct account. Check the vendor's instructions for specific steps and timing.
