How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account and Timing for Commissary at Tooele County
Getting money onto someone's account at Tooele County Detention in time for commissary comes down to two things: using an accepted deposit method and timing it around the order cutoffs.
Tooele County Detention Center accepts money orders (fully filled out and signed if there's a signature line), official checks, and cashier's checks. Fill everything out clearly - missing or hard-to-read information can delay posting, which matters when you're trying to hit a commissary deadline.
Note: Payment rules can be described differently in different places. Before you make a trip or buy a money order, confirm the jail’s current accepted payment types so your deposit isn’t delayed.
You can deposit money online through accesscorrections.com. If you're trying to catch the next commissary cutoff, give yourself some cushion - check the vendor's processing time so funds land when you need them.
Commissary at Tooele County Detention is delivered twice a week. Miss one window and another is coming soon - but deposits and orders need to line up with the cutoff days.
For midweek delivery, orders must be in by Tuesday to arrive Wednesday. If you're adding money so someone can place an order, get the deposit handled before that Tuesday cutoff.
Weekend delivery works the same way: orders placed before Saturday arrive on Sunday. Aim to have funds posted by Friday if you're targeting the Sunday run.
Heads up: There's a $40 limit per commissary order at Tooele County Detention. Depositing more than that won't increase what can be ordered in a single run.
- Pick your deposit method - You can deposit online through accesscorrections.com, or use an accepted in-person option like a money order, official check, or cashier’s check.
- Work backward from the commissary cutoff - If you want a Wednesday delivery, make sure the order is in by Tuesday; if you want a Sunday delivery, make sure the order is placed prior to Saturday.
- Leave time for the money to post - Online deposits can still have processing/posting time, so confirm the timing with the vendor if you’re close to a cutoff.
- Don’t count on last-minute deposits - If you’re using a money order or check, delays can happen if anything is incomplete or needs correction, so handle it early when you can.
- ✓ Keep the commissary order total at $40 or less
- ✓ If using a money order, fill it out completely and sign it if there’s a signature line
- ✓ If using a check, use an official check or cashier’s check (not a personal check)
