How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Vista Detention Facility accepts deposits through the San Diego Sheriff Commissary e-commerce website, which also lets you purchase gift packs to send. Money in an incarcerated person's trust account covers commissary items like food, hygiene products, stationery, reading glasses, and other permitted personal items. Those items get delivered directly to the housing unit. Commissary profits go into the Incarcerated Persons' Welfare Fund, supporting the benefit, education, and welfare of incarcerated people under California Penal Code 4025. Before sending funds, confirm the person's full name and booking or facility ID, then follow the deposit method listed by the vendor. Don't mail cash. Keep in mind that posting times and fees can affect when funds become available.
