Effective April 1, 2010 WTRJ installed a kiosk system in the lobby to improve our method and accountability of funds received for inmate canteen accounts. It is anticipated that we will not take any more money orders after May 31, 2010. The kiosk system will be operational 24/7 and is set up for cash or credit card deposits. The maximum daily deposit to any one account via credit card is $300.00 The maximum daily deposit to any one account via cash is $1,000.00. The transactions are recorded to the accounts instantly.

Credit card transactions will be charged the following rates:

The following are examples of how a deposit will work. If you are depositing $20.00 cash on an inmate account, only $17.25 will go to the account because the fee is $2.75.

If a credit card deposit of $75.00 is going to be made to the account then the total will be $80.50 because the credit card fee of $5.50 will be applied.

Effective April 1, 2010 credit card deposits can be made via computer with a valid credit card at www.offenderconnect.com.
