Send Money at Racine Youthful Offender Corr. Facility

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

To add funds, Wisconsin facilities typically use third-party deposit services. Common options include online portals, phone payments, lobby kiosks, walk-in locations, or mailed money orders. Deposits go into the person's account for commissary and other approved uses. The facility may deduct outstanding debts before funds become available. Electronic deposits may include vendor fees, and personal checks can be held before they clear. When depositing, have the person's full name, ID number, and any required facility codes or birthdate ready. Video visits and messaging/photo services require separate registration through ICSolutions and Getting Out.
