How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Adding money for someone at Taylorville Correctional Center usually means depositing funds to a commissary or trust account through a facility-approved channel. Common options include approved online services, lobby or visitation kiosks, retail payment agents, or mailing a payment to the vendor. The exact choices can vary, so confirm what's accepted before you send money. Have the incarcerated person's full name and their booking or ID number (or date of birth) ready so the deposit is credited correctly. Electronic deposits often post quickly, sometimes in real time, while mailed payments take longer. One thing to watch for: new deposits may be applied automatically to outstanding balances, fees, or court-ordered obligations before they're available for commissary. Transfers between facilities can add delays too.
