How to Send Money to Paul Rein Detention Facility

County Jails Handle Funds Differently From FDOC

Do not assume FDOC’s statewide Correct Pay system works here. Broward Sheriff’s Office runs its own trust account system across every facility it operates, including Paul Rein Detention Facility, and the confirmed vendor is Access Corrections.

How to Send Money Through Access Corrections

Broward Sheriff’s Office uses Access Corrections (accesscorrections.com) as its money deposit vendor across all BSO detention facilities. You have three confirmed ways to send funds:

• Online: Go to accesscorrections.com, search for the inmate by name and BSO ID number, and pay by credit or debit card.
• By phone: Call Access Corrections’ payment line to fund the account over the phone.
• By kiosk: Use the cash, debit, or credit kiosk in the facility lobby at Paul Rein Detention Facility. This same kiosk option is confirmed at BSO’s Main Jail, Conte Complex, and North Broward Bureau as well.

Money orders mailed directly to the facility are also accepted, addressed to the inmate by full name and BSO ID number.

Exact per-transaction fees and current kiosk hours for this specific facility were not independently confirmed. Call 954-831-5900 to check before sending a large amount.

Step 1: Confirm the Inmate Is Still at This Facility

Before sending money, confirm the person you’re trying to reach is currently held at Paul Rein Detention Facility. Call 954-831-5900 to verify custody status, since funds sent to the wrong facility can be delayed or difficult to recover.

Step 2: Gather What You’ll Need

Have the inmate’s full legal name and BSO ID number ready. Access Corrections requires this information for online, phone, and kiosk payments alike, to route your payment to the correct trust account.

Step 3: Choose Your Deposit Method

Online payment: Go to accesscorrections.com, create an account, add the inmate’s name and BSO ID number, and pay by credit or debit card.

By phone: Call Access Corrections’ payment line and have the inmate’s name and BSO ID number ready.

Lobby kiosk: If you’re already at the facility, the lobby kiosk accepts cash, debit, or credit and posts to the inmate’s account with minimal delay.

Money order by mail: Write the inmate’s full name and BSO ID number on the money order’s memo line and mail it directly to the facility. Confirm the correct mailing address by calling 954-831-5900, since trust account deposits can use a different address than the facility’s general mailing address.

What Funds Typically Cover

Money deposited into an inmate’s trust account through Access Corrections covers commissary purchases (food, hygiene items, and other approved products). Whether this account is combined with phone credit or kept separate was not independently confirmed for this facility. Call 954-831-5900 to ask.

Restrictions and Special Circumstances

A few situations can affect how deposits work:

• Court-ordered fees or restitution: If a court has ordered part of an inmate’s account balance to go toward fines or restitution, a portion of deposits may be automatically deducted.
• Disciplinary holds: An inmate on disciplinary restriction may have limited commissary access even with funds available.
• Transfers: If the inmate is transferred to a different facility, including a state prison, the trust account balance may not automatically follow them. Call 954-831-5900 to ask about the process for a specific situation.

Troubleshooting a Failed or Missing Deposit

If a deposit doesn’t show up as expected:

1. Confirm you used the currently approved deposit method and vendor for this facility.
2. Double check that the inmate’s name and booking number were entered correctly.
3. Call 954-831-5900 to ask whether the deposit was received and when it’s expected to post.
4. If you used a mailed money order, allow extra time for postal delivery and processing before assuming it was lost.

Avoiding Wrong-Address Rejections

If you’re mailing a money order and you’re unsure whether the facility uses a different address for trust account deposits than its general mailing address, call 954-831-5900 before sending. A mismatched address can cause a return, which delays the inmate’s access to funds by days or weeks.
