Tiger Correctional Web Deposits allow family members to send money directly into an incarcerated person's jail trust and commissary ledger. Deposited funds give your loved one the financial balance required to independently buy food items, hygiene supplies, writing materials, and medical copays from the facility store.
Important: Facility Deposit Rules and Window Intake Vary
Once a person is booked and moved to a housing unit, facilities do not always allow cash drop-offs or phone payments directly to the jail window. 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 Deposit Funds
- Confirm the inmate's legal first and last name, date of birth, and assigned booking or inmate ID number.
- Visit orders.tigercommissary.com on your computer or phone.
- Select Deposit Money or Web Deposits from the service dashboard.
- Select the state and facility where the inmate is currently detained.
- Search for the inmate to confirm their active housing status matches the facility roster.
- Enter your deposit dollar amount and review the calculated transaction and convenience fees.
- Input your debit or credit card billing details, complete payment, and save your digital receipt.
What the Inmate Needs to Do
The inmate does not need an internet account to receive funds. Once the electronic transaction clears, the balance posts directly to their jail trust ledger according to facility accounting schedules. The inmate can review their updated balance at a dayroom pod kiosk or on their weekly trust statement and place orders on their regular commissary day.
