How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Wynne Unit's Inmate Trust Fund accepts deposits through multiple channels: money orders, ACH options, and vendor portals such as Access Corrections and JPay (check the facility's vendor list). Since September 1, 2020, you can only deposit money if you're listed on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List. Do not mail cash or personal checks to the Inmate Trust Fund. They're not accepted and will be returned. Single deposits of $500 or more, plus certain company, payroll, or estate checks, are held for 14 days before the inmate can access the funds. Trust Fund staff can confirm a deposit was received, but they won't give balances or transaction details to anyone except the inmate.
