Tulare County uses Access Corrections for inmate deposits. There are four ways to send money: the website, the mobile app, a kiosk in the jail lobby that takes cash, and a phone line answered by a live bilingual agent. You need three things before you start: the person’s ID number from the county roster, their first and last name, and the facility name and location. Funds are available to the person as soon as the deposit goes through, which is faster than many county systems.
| Method | Takes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Card | accesscorrections.com |
| Mobile app | Mastercard, Visa | Available for iPhone and Android |
| Lobby kiosk | Cash, and in some cases Mastercard and Visa | At the facility |
| Phone, 866-345-1884 | Card | Live agent, English and Spanish |
Tulare County states that funds are immediately available to the person once the transaction completes. That is worth knowing when someone needs money for a phone call today rather than at the end of the week.
The lobby kiosk used to take a walk-up cash deposit. It no longer does on its own. Tulare County now states that the kiosk requires you to log into an existing Access Corrections account or create a new one before it will take a deposit or payment.
If you are driving to the jail with cash, set the account up on your phone before you go, or expect to do it standing at the machine.
Tulare County’s page says only that “Access Corrections charges a service fee for each transaction” and that “amounts vary based on the payment method and amount.” No fee schedule is published, and the vendor shows the exact charge inside the deposit flow rather than on a public page.
Read the fee on screen before you confirm, and compare the app against the kiosk once, since the amount can differ by payment method.
Deposit limits aren’t published either. If you’re sending a larger sum, call 559-735-1700 first to confirm there’s no cap.
Commissary care packages do not go through Access Corrections. Tulare County sends families to mycarepack.com, where you select the state, then the county, then gift packages.
The county publishes no prices, no size limits and no delivery schedule for these, so treat the vendor’s own checkout as the source for all three.
