How to Deposit Money and Buy Commissary for an Inmate at San Luis Obispo County Jail
Putting money on someone's account shouldn't be a guessing game. Here are the deposit options at San Luis Obispo County Jail, what they cost, and how to order pre-packaged commissary.
The quickest option? Deposit funds 24/7 by phone through TouchPay. Call (866) 232-1899 and follow the prompts to add money to the inmate's account.
You can also deposit online anytime at touchpayonline.com. You'll need to create an account first, so factor in that extra step if you're trying to get money posted fast.
Prefer to handle it in person? The jail has a TouchPay lobby kiosk where friends and family can deposit funds directly to an inmate account.
Facility number: When you use TouchPay for San Luis Obispo County Jail, enter facility number 293405 so the funds are applied to the correct inmate account.
TouchPay charges a $2.95 fee for deposits up to $200. Whether you send $20 or $200, the fee stays the same.
Deposits over $200 cost $3.95. The higher fee kicks in as soon as you cross that threshold.
TouchPay deposits are available within 24 hours. Keep that timing in mind if you're trying to line things up with commissary orders.
Using the county's online payment portal at slo.epay-it.com? There's an extra $2.50 convenience fee per transaction on top of any other charges.
Avoid extra charges: Because payments can take up to 24 hours to show up, don’t submit a second payment while you’re waiting - each transaction can trigger another $2.50 convenience fee.
Want to send items instead of cash? San Luis Obispo County Jail lets friends and family purchase pre-packaged commissary goods through Aramark's iCare website at shop.icaregifts.com.
Keep it straight: Ordering pre-packaged commissary through Aramark iCare is separate from making a TouchPay deposit. For TouchPay deposits, use facility number 293405 so the money lands in the right place.
