Inmate Financial Transactions & Commissary

Inmates are not allowed to have cash in the Tipton County Jail. All funds go into an account to be used for commissary purchases, such as personal hygiene items, food items, clothing items, and writing materials. Inmates on disciplinary lockdown (RH), and diabetics will have commissary restrictions. Inmates order commissary items on Wednesday, and orders are delivered on Thursday. Money must be deposited into the inmate’s account by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday night to allow them to order commissary for that week. Funds may be added to an inmates account one way.

  • Money orders can be mailed to the jail in care of the inmate. NO CASH OR CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH THE MAIL.
  • You may bring cash to the jail lobby window and place money in an inmate’s account.
