How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Twin Towers' Records and Identification Bureau accepts several payment forms for records-related transactions: cash, checks payable to the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department or LASD, cashier's checks, money orders, and credit cards. If you need to add money to an incarcerated person's account, county facilities often use options like online or mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or U.S. Postal money orders. What's available depends on the vendor and facility. Before depositing, confirm the person's full name and booking or facility ID, then follow the deposit vendor's instructions so funds go to the right account. Processing times for electronic transfers and third-party vendors vary, which affects when money becomes available. Don't mail cash. Most facilities refuse it and send it back.
