How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
There are three main ways to deposit funds for someone housed at Tehama Sheriffs Prison: by phone at 1-866-345-1884, online at inmatedeposits.com, or in person using the lobby kiosk. Money in an inmate trust account covers commissary purchases like hygiene items, phone time, and other allowed items, though balances may be reduced by court-ordered restitution or other authorized deductions. Before submitting a payment, confirm the incarcerated person's full name and booking or facility ID, and make sure you select the correct facility or agency in the vendor portal. Posting times vary by method. Kiosks are often faster but can have limited payment options. Never mail cash. If you need a mail option, follow the vendor or facility directions (some facilities accept U.S. Postal money orders).
