Good Shepherd Nelson Mandela House: commissary and sending money

How to put money on an account at Good Shepherd Nelson Mandela House

County and city jails pick their own commissary and deposit company. Common options are an online or phone deposit, a kiosk in the jail lobby, or a money order. Check the sheriff's office website or call the jail before you send money. Our guide to sending money to someone in jail walks through each one.

Before any deposit, have your loved one's full name and ID number ready, and check the fee. Fees vary by company and by payment method.

Finding your loved one

Most county sheriffs post an inmate roster or jail search on their website. You can also call the jail to confirm.
