How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Plan ahead for money and paperwork rules when visiting New Lisbon Corrections Institution. You can bring up to $25 in currency into the visiting room. Tax papers or checks needing a signature? Leave them at the Sergeant's desk—don't bring them into the visiting area. Money orders for inmates aren't allowed in the visiting room either, so don't try to hand one over during a visit. To add funds to an inmate's account, Wisconsin facilities typically use third-party deposit systems. Options include online deposits, phone payments, lobby kiosks, walk-in locations, or mail. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready. If you're mailing funds, follow the vendor's instructions and use a money order or cashier's check.

No. Money orders intended for inmates are listed as non-allowable in the visiting room, so don’t give one to an inmate during a visit.
Use the official deposit process instead of handing over cash or a money order during a visit. Wisconsin facilities commonly use third-party deposit systems (online, phone, kiosk, walk-in, or mail); have the inmate’s name and ID ready, and if you mail funds, follow the vendor’s instructions and use a money order or cashier’s check rather than cash or a personal check.

New Lisbon Correctional Institution (NLCI) offers visiting Tuesday through Sunday, with different hours depending on the day. Tuesday through Friday, visits run from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and last up to 3 hours. On weekends, hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a 2-hour limit. Planning around work or childcare? Think of weekdays as late afternoon and evening slots, weekends as morning through mid-afternoon. Keep the visit-length cap in mind too—showing up late eats into your time, and arriving too close to the end of visiting hours can get you turned away entirely.
