How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Southeastern Correctional Facility requires all money to go through approved deposit channels. You cannot give cash directly to an incarcerated person or deliver it during a visit. Only approved (or tentatively approved) visitors may send funds, and deposits can be held for verification before posting to the account. Limits are $200 per transaction and $400 per calendar month. Expect convenience or processing fees set by the deposit vendor. Some kiosk cash transactions carry a $3 fee. Before sending money, confirm which deposit channels the facility accepts and have the incarcerated person's full name and ID ready to avoid delays or rejected payments.
