How to Send Money to Someone at Walla Walla County Jail: Lobby Kiosk, SmartDeposit, and Access Corrections
Want to help someone at Walla Walla County Jail buy commissary items or stay connected? The jail offers three main deposit methods. Here's how each one works and when to use it.
Walla Walla County Jail offers three ways to add money, depending on what the funds are for and what's most convenient for you. Visiting in person? Use the kiosk machine in the jail lobby. Prefer to handle it from home? SmartDeposit.com is available around the clock. The jail also points people to Access Corrections for adding funds to an inmate's account, and to Securus for phone account funding, visit scheduling, and e-messages. Before choosing a method, think about what you're trying to accomplish: commissary funds go to the person's account, while phone-related services are handled separately through Securus.
Already at the facility? The lobby kiosk is your simplest option. It's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you don't need to work around business hours. Bring the information needed to identify the person you're depositing for, then follow the on-screen prompts. Keep your receipt - you may need it to confirm the deposit later.
SmartDeposit.com lets you add money online anytime - it's available 24/7. Have the incarcerated person's identifying details ready before you start. A typo or mix-up can delay the deposit. After you submit, save your confirmation (screenshot or email receipt) in case you need proof of the transaction later.
Access Corrections is another option for adding funds remotely. You can deposit through AccessCorrections.com or by calling 1-866-345-1884. One thing to know: commissary funds and phone funds aren't handled in the same place. The jail points people to Securus for phone account money, visit scheduling, and e-messages. If your goal is phone time or messaging, use Securus. If you're putting money on the person's account for commissary purchases, stick with the kiosk, SmartDeposit, or Access Corrections.
Note: For Access Corrections deposits, you can use AccessCorrections.com or call 1-866-345-1884. For phone-account funding and actions like scheduling visits or sending e-messages, the jail references Securus - check the vendor’s instructions for the most current process.
Here's something that confuses families: the jail says it only accepts money from individuals at the time of booking. That money gets credited to the person's account for commissary purchases. But that's not the same as deposits from family and friends - those go through the lobby kiosk, SmartDeposit.com, or the listed vendors. If someone is already in custody and you want to add funds, use the public deposit methods. "Money at booking" refers to what the person had with them during intake, not what you bring afterward.
Practical Tips
