Access Corrections handles commissary deposits at Yuma County Detention Center. You can deposit online at www.accesscorrections.com or call (866) 345-1884 to pay by phone.

The phone line accepts deposits 24/7, and bilingual live agents are available around the clock. Fees vary by deposit method and amount, so check the detention center's current fee schedule before you pay - especially if you're watching costs.

Need to help someone stay connected rather than buy commissary? Yuma County Detention Center uses Combined Public Communications (CPC) / InmateSales for phone calls, chirper (texting), tablet, email, and video services. This is separate from commissary - money on a commissary account can't be used for tablet-related services. Pick the right system based on what you're funding.

Fund phone, tablet, or chirper accounts at www.inmatesales.com. The detention center warns about scam sites with nearly identical URLs - type the address yourself to be safe. For help, call CPC/InmateSales toll-free at (877) 998-5678.

1. Get the right type of payment - Send cashier’s checks, tribal checks, and postal or telegraphic (Western Union) money orders.
2. Write the inmate’s details clearly - Include the inmate’s name and jacket number.
3. Mail it to the inmate accounts address - Yuma County Detention Center Inmate Accounts, 200 W. Court Street, Yuma, AZ 85364.

Prefer to deposit in person? The front-lobby kiosk is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. It accepts cash or debit/credit card for inmate accounts.

• ✓ Bring an email address - it’s required for kiosk deposits.
• ✓ Bring a government-issued photo ID - required at the kiosk.
• ✓ Use a valid cell phone number - you’ll receive a text message to verify your information.
• ✓ Don’t use pre-paid debit cards - they are not accepted at the kiosk.
• ✓ Don’t use inmate release debit cards - they are not accepted at the kiosk.

Rather pay cash at a store? CashPay Today works with Access Corrections. Register at cashpaytoday.com to get a barcode, then make a cash deposit where you shop. The detention center lists a flat $5.95 fee for deposits from $0.01 to $999.95.
