Pierce County Jail accepts internet deposits via credit card through their inmate money service. This is usually the fastest option - you can handle everything from home without making a phone call.

Prefer to call? Dial the toll-free line at 1-866-232-1899 and use Facility Locator Number 298402. Keep that locator number handy - it ensures your deposit goes to the right place and posts before the commissary cutoff.

Want to help with phone calls specifically? Pierce County Jail has a separate number for telephone account deposits: 1-800-844-6591. You can also add funds online through the telephone provider, which is handy if you're doing this outside business hours.

Commissary deadline: All monies must be received by Sunday evening at 9 p.m. for all inmates.

Commissary is distributed weekly. Miss the Sunday 9:00 p.m. cutoff, and the funds won't be available until the following week's order cycle.

With money on their account, inmates can order candy and snacks, cosmetics, beverages, writing materials, miscellaneous items, and clothing. No funds, no purchase - orders are limited to what the account balance covers.
