How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can fund an inmate's account at Okaloosa County Corrections Institution with cash, money orders, or debit/credit cards. The facility has a public lobby kiosk that accepts both cash and card payments. Sending a money order? Make it payable to Okaloosa County Department of Corrections and include the inmate's name clearly. It must arrive by 6:00 AM on Friday to be available for the following week's commissary. Keep these limits in mind: account balances can't exceed $1,000.00, and transfers from an inmate account to HomeWAV are capped at $50.00 per week. The facility runs a commissary, and tobacco products are prohibited (smoke-free since January 1, 1995). For non-mail deposits, use the lobby kiosk or a vendor payment portal—have the inmate's full name and booking/ID ready.
