How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Wicomico County Detention Center is simple once you know the rules. The facility no longer accepts money orders for commissary accounts—you'll need to use one of three approved deposit methods instead. The jail publishes a mailing address for correspondence and any deposits or paperwork they allow by mail. Need funds sent out? Inmates can request up to two $50 mail-out disbursements per month by submitting a Funds Disbursement Form with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Payments over $50 may be approved when the check is made payable directly to a company. Have the inmate's identifier ready when adding funds, and plan for possible processing delays and vendor fees.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
