How to Send Money to Three Forks Regional Jail

What CorrectPay Covers Here

CorrectPay is the deposit product from Tyler Technologies, formerly VendEngine. The jail links it from the Inmate Deposits page without describing it.

Selecting Kentucky and then Three Forks Regional Jail inside CorrectPay’s own booking flow narrows the vendor’s full service menu down to one option: Commissary Deposit. CorrectPay sells phone time, scheduled video visits, messaging, bonding, and tech account deposits at other facilities. None of those are available for this jail.

That single detail answers a question families ask constantly, and answers it in a way the jail never does. Money you put on CorrectPay here goes to commissary. It does not buy phone calls.

Fees, Limits, and Timing Are Not Published

We could not confirm any of the following, because CorrectPay only shows them after payment details are entered:

• The handling fee on a deposit
• Minimum and maximum deposit amounts
• Any daily or weekly cap
• How long funds take to post to the account

CorrectPay publishes a general deposit line at 1-855-836-3364, which is a company number rather than a line for this jail.

The Chirps Link Is Unexplained

The jail’s Inmate Deposits page carries a second link labeled “Chirps: inmatesales.com”. That site requires a registered account before it will show any facility or service list, so we cannot say what Chirps does at Three Forks.

At other facilities, products under the InmateSales name cover tablets, messaging, and media. Whether that is what it covers here, and what it costs, is unconfirmed. Given that the jail’s rules mention remote visits with no named provider, Chirps is a plausible candidate, but a guess is not something we are willing to publish as fact. Ask the jail what it is for.

No Other Deposit Route Is Published

Many jails accept money orders by mail, or run a lobby kiosk that takes cash. Three Forks publishes neither. There is no money order address, no kiosk mentioned, and no in-person deposit process anywhere on the jail’s site.

This connects to a larger gap: the jail publishes no mailing address for inmate correspondence at all, so even if money orders were accepted by mail, there is no published address to send one to.

Questions to Ask at 606-464-2598

• Is there a fee on a CorrectPay commissary deposit, and how much is it?
• Is there a minimum or maximum I can send, and a daily or weekly cap?
• How long does the money take to reach the account?
• Is commissary money separate from phone money, and how do I put money on phone calls?
• What is Chirps used for at this jail?
• Can I mail a money order, and if so, to what address?
• What happens to the money if my person transfers to a state prison or another county?

That last one matters here more than at most jails. Class D state inmates make up a large share of the population, and they move.
