How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Don't send funds directly to Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility. Deposits must go through approved vendors: Access Corrections Secure Deposit or CashPayToday walk-in providers. Once funds post, the money goes into the inmate's account for commissary purchases and other approved uses. Outstanding debts are typically deducted before money becomes available to spend. For the facility's specialty commissary package program, purchases from participating vendors are allowed with limits: $150 maximum per DOC resident per vendor per quarter, and a $20 minimum per order. Before depositing, have the inmate's full name and ID number ready so funds credit to the correct account. Start with the Access Corrections portal or a CashPayToday location listed by the vendor.
