How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money deposits for people in custody at North Piedmont CRV go through North Carolina's third-party payment vendors. Depending on which option you choose, you can make a deposit on the web or in a mobile app, by phone, at retail walk-in locations or kiosks, or through cash-deposit services. Funds go into the person's trust or commissary account for purchases and approved debits. Any remaining balance is returned when they transfer or are released. When submitting a deposit, enter the person's full booked name and inmate or account number exactly as shown, and follow the vendor's instructions. If you mail a money order, include the required deposit slip. Don't add letters, photos, staples, or other extras, since non-scannable or oversized contents can be returned.
