Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Inmate Commissary (Inmate Deposit)?
“Commissary” is essentially a bank account for someone in jail or prison. Since inmates aren’t allowed to carry cash, they use these digital deposits to buy daily essentials at the facility’s store (the canteen). This includes everything from extra food and snacks to soap, toothpaste, and warm clothing. By making an inmate deposit, you are providing them with the “buying power” they need for their basic needs.
What does "Put money on the books" mean?
“Books” is the informal or “street” term for an inmate’s official trust fund account. When people say they need to “put money on the books,” they are referring to depositing funds so the inmate can pay for phone calls, email messaging, or commissary items. Whether you call it “funding the books” or an “official deposit,” our service ensures the money is credited to the right account without the usual technical headaches.
How long does it take for the funds to reach the inmate?
In 95% of cases, the transfer is immediate. Our system is designed for speed, ensuring the funds are available to the inmate right away. However, in exceptional cases or due to facility-specific processing times outside of our control, it may take 24 to 48 business hours to reflect on the inmate’s account.
What can the inmate purchase with commissary funds?
Inmates use these funds at the facility’s canteen for essential items including hygiene products, snacks, stamps, and stationery. Funding the commissary is the most direct way to improve their daily quality of life.
Is there a limit on how much money I can send?
Limits are typically set by the specific correctional facility or the state’s department of corrections. If a deposit exceeds the allowed limit, we will notify you immediately to adjust the transaction and ensure compliance with facility rules.
What information do I need to make a deposit?
You only need the inmate’s full legal name, their ID number (Booking Number), and the name of the facility where they are located. We handle the technical verification to make sure the money reaches the correct person.
What happens if the deposit is rejected by the facility?
If a facility rejects a deposit due to status changes or technical errors, our support team steps in to resolve the issue. We prioritize your funds and will work to either re-process the deposit correctly or provide a swift resolution.
