How to Send Money to North Idaho Corrections Inst., ID (ID)

Family and friends send money to residents at North Idaho Corrections Inst. through Access Corrections. You can deposit via the Access Corrections mobile app, the Access Corrections website, by phone, at a walk-in retailer, or through a lockbox deposit.

If you’re paying by card through Access Corrections, Mastercard and VISA are accepted.

One practical detail: residents have to buy envelopes and postage through commissary. The facility won't accept stamps or stationery sent from the outside, so mailing stamps to your person won't help them use them.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Choose how you want to deposit through Access Corrections (mobile app, website, phone, walk-in retailer, or lockbox)
• ✓ If you’re using a card, use a Mastercard or VISA
• ✓ Plan for transaction fees with most deposit options (lockbox is the exception)

• ✓ Don’t mail stamps or stationery to help with letters, residents must purchase envelopes and postage from commissary and outside stamps/stationery are not accepted

Before sending money, confirm which Access Corrections deposit channels are currently available for this facility and check the transaction fee for your chosen method. Fees vary by option. The lockbox is the one method with no transaction fee.

Double-check payment details right before you submit. Access Corrections accepts Mastercard and VISA for deposits, but verifying card acceptance can save you time if anything has changed.

Mail policies can be strict. If you planned to send stamps or stationery, confirm the current commissary and mailroom rules first. The standing policy: residents must buy envelopes and postage from commissary, and outside stamps or stationery won't be accepted.
