Understanding Commissary at Monroe County Jail: Orders, Pickup, and What Happens to Release Funds

Monroe County Detention Center uses McDaniel's Supply Company for commissary. Inmates can order approved snacks and other permitted items, with the cost deducted from their commissary account. Orders only go through if there's enough money in the account when it's processed.

If someone places a commissary order and gets released before it arrives, they can still claim it. The released person - or a designated family member - has five (5) days to pick up the order.

Warning: If the commissary order isn’t picked up within the five-day window, it will be destroyed.

Note: No commissary items from any other source will be accepted into the Monroe County Detention Center housing area for any reason.

Money your loved one has when they're brought into booking doesn't disappear. Any cash, money orders, or certified checks in their possession get credited to their commissary account.

  • Deposit cash in person using the Jail ATM kiosk located in the front lobby of the Detention Center.
  • Make an online deposit using a credit or debit card through the link provided by the Detention Center.

When someone is released, any money left in their account goes onto a debit card issued by the jail. It doesn't stay on the books.
