How Do You Put Money on His Books

1. Online Deposits – Many correctional facilities partner with third-party vendors that allow friends and family members to deposit money into an inmate’s commissary account online. You can typically visit the website of the company providing the service, create an account, and follow the instructions to make a deposit using a debit or credit card.
2. In-Person Deposits – Some correctional facilities allow friends and family members to make cash deposits in person at the facility’s administrative office or lobby. You may need to provide the inmate’s name, booking number, or other identifying information to ensure the funds are deposited into the correct account.
3. Mail-In Deposits – You may be able to send a money order or cashier’s check through the mail to the correctional facility’s address. Be sure to include the inmate’s name, booking number, or other identifying information on the payment to ensure it is credited to the correct account.
4. Kiosk Deposits – Some correctional facilities have kiosks located within the facility where friends and family members can deposit funds into an inmate’s commissary account using cash, credit, or debit cards.
5. Phone Deposits – A few facilities may offer the option to make deposits into an inmate’s commissary account over the phone using a credit or debit card. You can typically call the facility’s designated phone number for deposit services and follow the automated prompts to complete the transaction.

Before attempting to deposit money into an inmate’s commissary account, verify the specific procedures and available methods with the correctional facility where the inmate is housed. Be sure to provide accurate information and follow any guidelines provided to ensure the funds are properly credited to the inmate’s account.
