Access Secure Deposits (Smart Deposit) allows families and friends to securely transfer money directly into an incarcerated person's jail trust account using a debit or credit card. Deposited funds become immediately available for your loved one to purchase essential hygiene goods, over-the-counter medication, food items, and writing materials from the facility commissary.
Important: Inmate Banking Policies Vary by Facility
Once a person is booked and moved to a cell, facilities do not always allow cash drop-offs or phone payments directly to the jail. Some might and you should confirm this by calling the facility and asking. But if you do not register online and fund your loved one's trust account immediately, they may be forced to wait days or weeks for standard paper processing, leaving them without essential soap, clean undergarments, basic medical sundries or snacks.
Step-by-Step Instructions to Register and Access Service
- Obtain the inmate's legal first and last name, date of birth, and official six- to ten-digit Booking or Inmate ID number.
- Visit the official Access Corrections portal at www.accesscorrections.com or download the Access Corrections mobile app.

- Add the inmate as a contact and confirm their identity from the facility roster.
- Enter your debit or credit card billing information, choose your deposit amount, review the facility processing fee, and submit your payment.

What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate does not need internet access to receive your deposit. Once approved, the funds post directly to their facility account balance. The inmate can verify their balance at the dayroom kiosk or on their trust statement and start ordering items on the next designated commissary day.
