How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Costs can add up quickly at Polk County Sheriff's Office. The jail charges a $30.00 booking fee at intake/processing. If your loved one had cash or other funds on them at booking, that money goes into their inmate account and gets applied to any outstanding debt first. The facility also charges housing per-diem fees: $9.00 when an inmate is transferred to housing, then $2.00 per day after that. Families can typically add money through online deposit portals, lobby kiosks, phone deposits, or by mailing a money order, though the available methods and vendor rules can vary. Before sending funds, confirm the current instructions and include the inmate's name plus their booking or ID number so the deposit credits correctly.
