How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Rappahannock Regional Jail typically works through a few channels: third-party online deposit portals, on-site lobby kiosks or ATMs, mailed certified funds like money orders, or authorized cash agents (depending on the facility and vendor). You'll need the inmate's full name and their facility or inmate ID number. For mailed funds, include your name and return address too. Keep in mind that commissary, phone, and other services often use separate vendor portals with different posting rules—double-check which account you're funding. If a deposit doesn't post, contact the payment vendor's support first, then reach out to the facility's finance or commissary office if needed. Methods, fees, and processing times vary, so confirm the jail's current instructions before sending anything.
