Three Ways to Put Money on a Duffield Inmate's Account (Plus a Money Order Checklist)
Trying to put money on someone's commissary account at Duffield? The jail accepts three deposit methods. Here's how each one works, plus a checklist for mailing a money order without delays.
Duffield (Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority) accepts three deposit methods: the lobby kiosk, the JailATM website, or a money order sent by mail. Need funds posted fast? The kiosk is your best bet - deposits hit the account immediately.
Here's a helpful shortcut: SWVRJA lets you deposit funds at any of their sites for any inmate housed within the system. If another SWVRJA facility is closer than Duffield, you can use that location instead.
You'll find the kiosk in the facility lobby. It takes cash, credit, and debit cards. Paying with cash? Bring bills - the machine doesn't accept coins.
Kiosk deposits post to the inmate's account in real time. That makes it the go-to option when commissary day is coming up and you can't afford mail delays.
Fee alert: SWVRJA lists a $3.25 fee for cash deposits made at the lobby kiosk.
The kiosk is available 24/7, so you're not stuck working around business hours. That flexibility helps if you're juggling work or travel.
Can't make it to the facility? Duffield/SWVRJA also accepts deposits through the JailATM website. It's a convenient way to add commissary funds from home.
Note: Fees and processing times are set by JailATM, not the jail. Check the checkout screen for the exact total before you submit payment.
Sending funds by mail? SWVRJA only accepts money orders. Personal checks will be rejected or delayed, so skip them entirely.
Timing is everything with mail deposits. Your money order must arrive at least one business day before commissary for the inmate to use those funds.
Mail your money order to: INMATE NAME P.O. Box 367 Duffield, VA 24244 Include the inmate's full name and ID number so staff can credit the right account.
