How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Adding money for someone at Western Kentucky Correctional Complex typically goes through a third-party vendor that handles commissary and phone deposits. An online vendor portal is usually the easiest place to start. On most vendor sites, you'll search by state and facility, choose the inmate, pick what you're funding (commissary, phone time, bond, or a care package), then complete payment by following the prompts. Some locations also offer lobby kiosks for cash or card deposits, phone-based deposit options, or accept mailed money orders. Each facility controls which methods are allowed and how fast funds post. Before sending money, check whether transfers between commissary and phone accounts are permitted. Care packages typically must be placed through an approved vendor.
