Depositing Funds for an Incarcerated Individual

An account is set up for each incarcerated individual at the time of booking into the Barnstable County Correctional Facility. This account allows friends and family to deposit monies so the individual can purchase personal items, snacks, postage, etc. through the facility commissary.

There are four ways to deposit funds into an inmate's account:

Call toll-free: 866-345-1884
Go Online to Access Corrections
Stop by the Barnstable County Correctional Facility between the hours of 7:30 am and 9 pm (7 days a week) and make a deposit into the canteen kiosk in the facility lobby. The kiosk accepts credit cards and cash denominations between $5 and $100. Please note the maximum daily deposit allowed is $300.
Mail a money order or bank check (no personal or payroll checks are accepted) to:
Barnstable County Sheriff's Office
Attn: Inmate Accounts
6000 Sheriff's Place
Bourne, MA 02532
Made payable to inmate's name and ID Number
If you need assistance:
please call 508-563-4317, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Please be sure to note your name and address on the check (even if it's a bank check). This way we will be able to confirm receipt if you call to ask.

To Obtain an Account Balance After Being Released from the Barnstable County Correctional Facility

A debit card will be created that has any remaining account balance for immediate use. Please call 508-563-4317 or stop into the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office, 6000 Sheriff’s Place, Bourne, Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. Ask the officer stationed in the lobby who will contact our Inmate Accounts staff to issue the debit card.

If you are unable to pick up a debit card in person or need other account assistance, please call 508-563-4317.

Please be advised: Incarcerated individuals are not allowed to have money in their possession at any time during their incarceration. All monies in possession at the time of booking are deposited into the individual's account (known as the individual's canteen account.)
