How to Send Money to SBWCC Unit 1 (ID)
Need to add money to someone's account at SBWCC Unit 1? Idaho Department of Correction uses Access Corrections for deposits. Here are the options available for IDOC residents, plus some details that affect mail and postage.
You can deposit money through Access Corrections three ways: the mobile app (Android or iOS), the website, or by phone with a live agent. The app and website work well if you're comfortable using a card. Prefer talking to a person? The phone option has you covered. Mastercard and Visa are accepted for website and phone deposits.
Mail rules matter because they affect how your loved one can write back. Residents with funds must buy envelopes and postage through commissary. The facility won't accept personal stamps or outside stationery. If a resident is indigent (has no funds), the facility provides stationery and postage for one personal letter per week.
Note: Residents can send out packages (such as hobby crafts or excess property) at their own expense.

Before sending money, confirm a few details that vary by deposit method. Check the fees, processing times, and deposit limits for SBWCC Unit 1 through Access Corrections. You'll also need to know what information to enter (like the resident's identifying number) and where it goes in the app, website, or phone process. Mastercard and Visa are listed for online and phone deposits, so verify before trying another card type.
Want to help with mail? Double-check the commissary details: how residents buy envelopes and postage, and any limits or timing on purchases. If the resident is indigent, ask how that status is determined so they can receive the one personal letter per week with provided supplies. For residents planning to mail items out (like hobby crafts or excess property), confirm what's allowed and how costs work since those packages are sent at the resident's expense.
Tip: The Access Corrections phone line (866-345-1884) has a live, bilingual agent and is listed as available 24/7. If you have trouble getting through, try calling at a different time.
