How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
When someone is booked at Volusia County Correctional Facility, any cash on them goes into a personal inmate banking account. This account covers commissary purchases and facility costs like fees, copies, medical visits, prescriptions, and prior debts. The facility charges a one-time $30.00 booking fee plus a $5.00 per-day subsistence fee. Inmates who work have the daily fee waived, and subsistence may be refundable in certain cases. Commissary items and care packages go through Access Securepak (www.flcountypackages.com or 1-800-546-6283). If mailing funds, send a money order payable to the inmate with the booking number included. Don't send cash, personal checks, payroll checks, or food. Third-party vendor deposits typically include service fees.
