How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money rules at Richland Correctional Institution can feel strict at first, but they're manageable once you know the process. Tablet repair payments are limited to approved visitors already on the incarcerated person's visiting list, so confirm your approval status before trying to pay for repairs. For general deposits to an inmate's trust or commissary account, you'll need the inmate's full name and ID number. Use an approved deposit option (online portal, phone deposit, mobile app, or lobby kiosk) rather than handing cash to staff. Expect convenience or processing fees for phone, online, and kiosk transactions. Stick to the facility's approved deposit vendors to avoid scams. Approved minors cannot deposit funds without a parent or legal guardian present.
