How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money you send goes into an inmate account used for commissary purchases, phone time, medical charges, and in-custody programs. You can't hand cash directly to staff. Common deposit options include a lobby kiosk, approved third-party online or phone vendors, or mailing a cashier's check or money order. Get the inmate's account or register number before sending anything so your deposit is applied correctly. Double-check which payment methods are accepted for the channel you plan to use. If the inmate has been temporarily moved, deposits may be held until they return to their home facility, so confirm current housing status first.
