How to Send Money to Pasco County Detention, FL (FL)
Sending money to someone at Pasco County Detention comes down to getting funds into the right account. That money covers commissary purchases, phone calls, and tablet time.
At Pasco County Detention, commissary money and communication money are connected. If your loved one wants to make phone calls or use tablet time, they need to move funds from their commissary account into their phone account. So even if you're thinking "I'm just adding commissary," that deposit may be what keeps their calls and tablet use going.
You can also support someone by ordering a customized commissary Care Pack. Packages can be up to $75, plus a $7.95 shipping and handling (processing) fee. Pasco County Detention limits this to one package per inmate per week, so plan around that cap. Care Pack ordering and questions go through MyCarePack (not the jail).
One detail that catches families off guard is the JailATM "Commissary Allowance" option. This lets you set an allowance that can be used for commissary without making a deposit. The money isn't added to the inmate's commissary account balance. Instead, when commissary is ordered, the allowance gets applied first, before the inmate's own balance is touched.
Note: For commissary questions at the jail, contact Trinity Commissary at (813) 235-6053. For Care Pack ordering and questions, go through MyCarePack.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Ask whether a JailATM “Commissary Allowance” has been created for the inmate, since it is separate from their commissary account balance.
- ✓ Keep in mind that if an allowance exists, it is used first when the inmate orders commissary, before their own commissary balance.
- ✓ If the goal is calls or tablet time, the inmate has to transfer funds from their commissary account to their phone account.
- Confirm the weekly limit - Only one Care Pack package per inmate per week may be ordered.
- Plan the total cost - The package amount can be up to $75, plus a $7.95 shipping and handling (processing) fee.
- Place the order through MyCarePack - Direct Care Pack ordering and questions to MyCarePack at 866-643-9557 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm) or use the MyCarePack order webpage.
