How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
There are several ways to put money on an incarcerated person's account at Nassau County Corrections Center: online or mobile portals, phone payments, lobby or visitor kiosks, mail using approved money orders, and in-person deposits at a cashier or lobby window. Online and phone deposits are typically handled by third-party vendors, so expect service fees and processing times that vary by vendor and payment type. Pick the method that works best for you. Online or phone tends to be the fastest but costs more, while mail or in-person deposits may take longer and can help you avoid some vendor charges. You'll generally need the person's identifying information, such as a booking or jacket number, or their full name and date of birth. For in-person drop-offs, bring a valid photo ID. Bail or court fees may use separate online portals with different steps and fees.
