How to Send Money to Aroostook County Jail

What We Could Confirm, and What We Couldn’t

Aroostook County’s official website doesn’t publish a commissary or inmate money page the way some Maine county jails do. This guide is built honestly around that gap. Rather than guess at a vendor name, a deposit limit, or a fee schedule, we’re telling you directly what several third-party jail information sites report, and flagging clearly that none of it is confirmed by an official Aroostook County source.

The Vendor Third-Party Sources Report

Multiple third-party jail directories name TouchPay or GTL Financial Services as the company that processes inmate account deposits at Aroostook County Jail, typically through an online portal, a phone line, and a self-service kiosk in the jail’s lobby. We could not verify this vendor name, or confirm it’s still current, from Aroostook County’s own website. Call (207) 532-7317 and ask directly:

• Who currently processes deposits to inmate accounts?
• What’s the deposit limit per week or per month?
• Is cash, check, or money order accepted, and if so, made payable to whom?
• How long does a typical deposit take to post?

What the Money Likely Covers

At most county jails this size, funds on an account go toward commissary purchases like food and hygiene items, plus phone or tablet time. We could not confirm the exact list of what Aroostook County Jail’s system covers from an official source, so ask directly when you make a deposit.

Phone Funds vs. Commissary Funds

We could not confirm whether Aroostook County Jail keeps phone funds and commissary funds in one combined account or as separate accounts. If you want to be sure a deposit goes specifically toward phone time, ask about this directly when you call. See the phone calls guide for what we could confirm about the phone system itself.

If a Deposit Fails or Doesn’t Post

Call the deposit vendor directly using any confirmation number from your transaction, or call the jail at (207) 532-7317 to ask staff to check whether a deposit posted to the correct account. Keep any transaction reference in case you need it later.

What Happens to Funds if Someone Transfers or Is Released

We could not confirm Aroostook County’s specific policy on what happens to an account balance if a detainee transfers to another facility or is released. Ask staff about this directly, especially since the county’s own facility assessment describes an overcrowded, aging building where transfers to other locations can happen.

Confirm Before You Send

Before making any deposit, confirm the detainee is still at Aroostook County Jail using the inmate search guide. A deposit sent to the wrong facility can be difficult to recover.
