How to Send Money to Kennebec County Correctional Facility

How to Send Money

Based on the Sheriff’s Office’s official Vendor Links page, Kennebec County Correctional Facility uses the Keefe Commissary Network for inmate accounts. The Sheriff’s Office doesn’t publish a specific online deposit link, phone deposit number, or kiosk location for Keefe on its own website, unlike its clearly published Securus phone information. Before sending money, call the facility directly at (207) 623-2270 to confirm the exact current process, since deposit options can change and the county’s public pages don’t spell this one out in full.

Get the Inmate’s Identification Number First

Every inmate is assigned an Identification Number at intake, and this number is what enables commissary orders. If you don’t already have it, call the Intake Officer directly at (207) 623-2270 ext. 1111 and ask for it. You’ll likely need this number no matter which Keefe deposit method the facility currently offers.

What the Money Covers

The Sheriff’s Office’s published materials describe Securus (phone) and Keefe (commissary) as separate named systems, but don’t explicitly state whether phone funds and commissary funds are pooled into one account or kept separate. Call (207) 623-2270 if you want to understand exactly how a deposit will be used before you send it.

Bringing Money at Committal

The facility’s own published intake information for people coming in to serve a sentence states that you may bring money with you. This is a separate situation from sending a deposit to someone already in custody, but it’s worth knowing if you or a family member is about to self-report.

What You Cannot Send

Don’t mail cash directly to the facility. The Sheriff’s Office’s official pages don’t describe a cash-by-mail option for inmate accounts. If you’re considering a money order, call (207) 623-2270 first to confirm whether that’s currently accepted and where exactly to send it, since the facility’s April 2018 change ending in-person property drop-offs doesn’t say one way or the other whether it also applies to mailed money orders.

Confirm Before You Send

Before sending money, confirm the person is still in custody at Kennebec County Correctional Facility. Check the inmate search guide or call Intake at (207) 623-2270 ext. 1111. A deposit sent after someone has transferred or been released can complicate getting the money back.

Account Questions

For questions about an inmate’s account balance or a specific Keefe deposit, call the Kennebec County Correctional Facility directly at (207) 623-2270, or ask for the Intake Department at ext. 1111.
