How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Oneida County Jail (3 Ways)
Need to send money to someone at Oneida County Jail? You have three options: use the on-site kiosk, mail a USPS money order through the Digital Mail Center, or go through one of the facility's listed vendors for phone, tablet, or commissary accounts.
Pick whichever method works best for you. The fastest in-person option is the commissary kiosk in the visitation area's entrance vestibule - anyone can use it, no visitor list required. Prefer to mail funds? The jail accepts money orders, but only from the U.S. Postal Service, and you'll need to address them through the Securus Digital Mail Center using a specific format. For phone, tablet, or commissary accounts, the facility works with GettingOut (tablets), GTL (phone), and MyCarePack (commissary).
The commissary kiosk sits in the entrance vestibule of the visitation area. You don't need to be on a visitor list - anyone can walk in and deposit money.
Good to know: The commissary kiosk in the visitation vestibule is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- ✓ Bring the inmate’s identifying information (at minimum, their name) so you can make sure the deposit goes to the right person
- ✓ Use the commissary kiosk in the entrance vestibule of the visitation area
- ✓ Save your receipt or confirmation after you deposit money, just in case you need to track it later
Mailing money? Pay attention to where you buy the money order. Oneida County Jail only accepts U.S. Postal Service money orders. Anything from another source gets returned to sender.
- Buy a USPS money order - the jail only accepts U.S. Postal Service money orders.
- Address it using the required Digital Mail Center format - all mail (including money orders) must be sent to the Digital Mail Center for processing, and mail without the required format will be refused by USPS and returned.
- Use the Securus Digital Mail Center address line exactly as provided -

Tip: If you’re not sure which account you need to fund (phone vs. tablet vs. commissary), call the vendor directly and ask what payment options they accept and how long deposits usually take to post.
Practical Verification
