How to Send Money to Pocatello Women's Center (ID)

Skip the cash if you're visiting in person. Paper money isn't allowed in the visiting rooms. Bring coins instead, stored in clear plastic bags. Some vending machines may accept debit or credit cards, which is the easiest option when available.

Don't bother mailing stamps or stationery. The facility won't accept them. If your loved one needs writing supplies, they'll have to purchase envelopes and postage through commissary using funds on their account.

Note: The details here cover visiting-room money rules and mail supplies only. For deposit methods, limits, and timing, contact the facility directly.

Steps to Follow

  • Don’t bring paper money into the visiting room.
  • If you bring coins for vending machines, keep them in clear plastic bags.
  • Bring a debit or credit card for vending purchases if the machines accept cards.
  • Don’t mail in stamps or stationery, they will not be accepted.
  • If your loved one needs envelopes or postage, they must purchase them through commissary (if they have funds).

Call ahead before your visit. Ask whether the vending machines currently take cards, and whether there's a limit on coins you can bring (even in clear plastic bags). Rules are enforced at the door, so don't assume exceptions apply without confirmation.

For mail support, check the current commissary process for envelopes and postage. Purchase limits can slow down restocking, even when someone has money in their account. Ask whether any recent policy changes allow mailing supplies from outside, since the standard rule is that stamps and stationery aren't accepted.

Note: Check directly with Pocatello Women's Correctional Center or the Idaho Department of Correction for the latest policies. Small wording changes can affect what's accepted.
