How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
At Sugar Pine Conservation Camp, you can request refunds for unused ViaPath balances through the ViaPath call center. If the balance belongs to an incarcerated person, it's refunded automatically to their trust account. Any money you deposit to an inmate's account can be reduced by court-ordered restitution—but packages you buy directly from outside vendors aren't affected. Families typically add funds through accepted channels like online or mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or U.S. Postal money orders. Before submitting a deposit, confirm the incarcerated person's full name and booking or facility ID. Give electronic deposits time to post, never mail cash, and check vendor fees and posting times so the money arrives when needed.
