How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Use a money order or cashier's check only. Gift cards, cash, and personal checks are not accepted and will be returned. For commissary and specialty package purchases, orders go through approved vendors and are capped at $150 per resident, per vendor, each quarter. There's also a $20 minimum per order. When depositing through Access Corrections, have the resident's full name and ID ready and follow the vendor's steps so the money posts correctly.
