- Visit the website of the correctional facility where the inmate is located.
- For example, if the inmate is in the Kansas Department of Corrections, visit the KDOC website at https://www.doc.ks.gov/
- If the inmate is in a county jail, visit the website of the county sheriff’s office or detention center where they are being held.
- Locate the inmate trust fund or commissary section of the website.
- Look for a link or tab labeled “Inmate Trust Fund” or “Commissary.”
- Review the specific instructions and requirements for making a deposit, as they may vary by facility.
- Choose one of the available options to deposit money onto an inmate’s account:
