How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Managing money for someone at Taycheedah Corrections Institution is straightforward once you know the limits. Specialty commissary packages are capped at $150 per resident per vendor each quarter, with a $20 minimum order—plan purchases around that quarterly cap. Adding funds? Don't mail money directly to Taycheedah. Deposits go through Access Corrections (online, by phone, by mail, or walk-in), with a $2,900 daily limit. For administrative requests like disbursements, use form DOC-184—make sure it's legible, signed, and dated. Interest-bearing savings accounts also use DOC-184 to open or close. You'll need $50 to open one, and interest posts quarterly.
