How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Before sending money connected to Rainbow Conservation Camp, set up your Securus account ahead of your loved one's transition. New to the system? Use the scheduling site's "CLAIM ACCOUNT" link to create or claim your account. Families commonly add funds through online or mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or U.S. Postal money orders, but exact options (and fees) depend on the facility and vendor. Money in an inmate trust account typically covers commissary, phone time, hygiene items, and other permitted expenses. Authorized deductions or restitution can reduce the balance. To avoid delays, confirm the person's full name and booking or facility ID, follow the vendor instructions, and check posting times. Do not mail cash.
