Inmate Accounts

 

During incarceration, an individual financial accounting of all funds belonging to an inmate is maintained by the facility. These funds may be brought from another facility at the time of transfer to PCRJ or deposited on the inmate's behalf by family or friends. Additionally an inmate may earn money from work assignments while incarcerated. If an individual wishes to deposit money on behalf of an inmate, he may do so by mail, during visitation periods, or by using the online service, Inmate Banker (see below).

 

All funds sent to an inmate must be in the form of a money order only.  Personal checks, payroll checks, cashier's checks or cash must be returned to the sender. Money orders are to be made out to:

 

 

Funds brought to the facility during visitation are to be presented to the reception officer upon entering the visitation waiting area. The reception officer will take the money order and provide the visitor a receipt. The visitor can give the receipt to the inmate during the visitation period.

 

In March 2009, PCRJ implemented Inmate Banker, a service which allows families and friends to make deposits to an inmate's account via the internet by accessing www.offenderconnect.com.  Deposits made to an inmate's account are available to the inmate on the next business day.
