How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Rio Grande Detention Center uses the CeBonds webpage for immigration bond business. As an obligor, you can verify bond information, post bonds for eligible detained aliens, and receive electronic notifications. Bond posting is only available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the time zone where the alien is detained—plan accordingly. Before posting, read the Bond Agreement (Form I‑352) carefully. Those are the binding terms. If you're sending money for an inmate account or commissary, use the facility's centralized deposit instructions and approved vendors rather than mailing cash or personal checks. Vendor fees and processing times vary.
