How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Polk County charges a $30 booking fee when someone is processed into custody. Any cash found at booking goes into the inmate account and pays off outstanding debts first—only then can the money be used for other purposes. Once transferred to housing, inmates face an initial $9 per-diem charge plus $2 per day for ongoing housing costs. Need to add money to someone's account? Deposits typically go through online portals, lobby kiosks, phone payments, or mail-in money orders. The vendor and exact steps vary, so follow their instructions carefully.
