How to Send Money and Care Packages to an Inmate at Stewart County Detention Center

Stewart County Detention Center uses SmartDeposit as its official way to fund an inmate's account online. The service handles deposits quickly and securely, and can also process bail payments and certain court-ordered payments when applicable. Stick to the SmartDeposit link on the facility's website - using other deposit methods can lead to delays or rejected transactions.

For physical items, the jail uses MyCarePack. These are pre-selected, jail-approved items delivered directly to the facility - which matters because random packages you send yourself often get rejected. Ordering is straightforward. Select the state and facility, browse the available items, and identify your friend or family member. Then sign in (or create an account), enter your payment info, and place the order.

1. Select the state and facility - choose the correct location for Stewart County Detention Center.
2. Shop for items - add the available care pack items you want to send.
3. Identify the inmate - enter the details requested to match your friend or family member.
4. Sign in or create an account - log in if you already have one, or set one up.
5. Enter payment details and place the order - use your credit card information to submit the order.

Don't send money through regular mail. The jail is clear on this: cash, checks, and credit cards in mail will be returned. Skip "supply" items like blank paper, stamps, and envelopes too. Those are available on commissary, so including them in mail won't help. If you want to support someone, use the approved online deposit option for funds or order a care pack through the jail's listed vendor.

Use SmartDeposit to add money to an inmate's account for purchases or supported payments. Use MyCarePack when you want to send physical, jail-approved items.
