5 Ways to Send Money to an Inmate at Smith Correctional Facility
Sending money is one of the easiest ways to support someone at Smith Correctional Facility. The funds go directly into their account for everyday basics.
Money you deposit goes into an inmate's account, making day-to-day life a bit easier. At Smith Correctional Facility, inmates use these funds for commissary items - snacks, hygiene products, phone cards, writing materials. You've got options for how to send money. Need it done fast? Go online or call. Prefer handling things in person? Use the lobby kiosk. Mailing from out of town? A U.S. Postal Service money order works too. Smith accepts all four methods through Access Corrections or by mail.
Smith uses Access Corrections for online deposits. To handle everything from home, head to the Access Corrections website and follow the prompts to deposit funds into the inmate's account.
Prefer to deposit by phone? Call Access Corrections at 1-866-345-1884. The line is open 24/7. You'll need a Visa or MasterCard to complete the transaction. It's a solid option when you can't make it to the facility but want funds posted quickly.
There's an Access Corrections kiosk in the jail lobby for in-person deposits. It accepts cash or credit card and is available 24 hours a day. Once you complete the transaction, the money goes straight into the inmate's account. If you're already at the facility, this is the fastest way to get it done.
You can mail a U.S. Postal Service money order to deposit funds. This works well if you don't use cards or you're sending money from out of town. One thing to get right: write the inmate's name and booking number on the front of the money order. Staff need this information to credit the correct account.
Do not mail cash or personal checks: Smith does not accept cash or personal checks through the mail. If they arrive at the facility, the envelope and contents are marked “Return to Sender” and sent back.
If someone gets released with money still in their account, it doesn't disappear. Remaining funds can be claimed through the Riverside County Sheriff's Unclaimed Money website.
