incarcerated individual's Funds and Commissary

Before making a deposit please, note:

• You may deposit as much money as you would like to an incarcerated individual's account - the only limitation is how much at a time. For example, if you are using the kiosk, you can only add $200, initially (with a service fee). After that deposit, you may add more money, up to $200 with an additional service fee.
• Checks and money orders are not accepted and will be returned to the sender.  Incarcerated individuals will be notified of any unacceptable form of funds that is returned to the sender.
• When depositing money on an incarcerated individual's account via kiosk, online or over the phone, there is a fee. However, cash sent via mail, although not recommended, will be accepted and deposited into an incarcerated individual's account without a service fee.
• Money that is deposited into an incarcerated individual's account can take up to 24 hours for it to post on an incarcerated individual's commissary account.
• You may make deposits to multiple incarcerated individuals.

Commissary

Dutchess County Jail has a commissary program that offers health, beauty, food, beverage, snack and general merchandise items for sale to incarcerated individuals. Incarcerated individuals will only be allowed up to two (2) orders per week in commissary items. These weekly orders cannot exceed $115, with an $85 per order limit. 

iCare

Instead of adding money to an incarcerated individual's account, you can purchase an “iCare” package of commissary items in advance and send to the incarcerated individual. Please visit Dutchessny.iCareGifts.com for a step-by-step purchase and delivery guide. 

Before purchasing an iCare package please, note:

• There is no delivery charge to have an iCare package sent to an incarcerated individual.
• You can add money to an incarcerated individual's account and purchase an “iCare” package for them. However, please remember the incarcerated individual can only spend $115 per week and is only allowed one (1) “iCare” package per week.
• “iCare” packages are delivered every Thursday. The deadline to ensure delivery is 10am every Thursday. If the “iCare” order is not received by 10am Thursday, the incarcerated individual may not receive the “iCare” package until the following week. 

Fresh Favorites

In addition to commissary items, incarcerated individuals can also purchase additional “Fresh Favorite” meals, which are available each week.  Incarcerated individuals can order “Fresh Favorite” meals at the facility if he or she has funds available.

“Fresh Favorite” meals are counted towards an incarcerated individual's weekly commissary order.
