Read full guideSending Commissary
Richmond County Jail accepts deposits through the standard North Carolina vendor channels: online or mobile apps, by phone, at walk-in kiosks or retail locations, through cash-deposit services, or by mailing a money order. Deposited funds go into the incarcerated person's trust or commissary account for purchases and other approved debits. Any remaining balance gets returned if the person is transferred or released. To avoid delays, pick your deposit method and enter the inmate's booked name and ID exactly as shown. Follow the vendor's instructions closely (including any required deposit slip for mailed money orders). If you set up an account, use the primary visitor's full legal name. That person is responsible for payments and visit behavior. Blocked visitors should never use your account.
