Inmate Money & Property

Commissary is available for the purpose of providing inmates with items that are not provided by the Culpeper County Jail. In order to be eligible for commissary, an inmate must have a minimum of $1.00 in his/her account. By utilizing the kiosk or jailatm.com to have funds placed in an inmate account, funds are automatically placed in the account by electronic means. Funds are accepted through the mail in the form of a money order or may be placed in an account by utilizing the kiosk located in the Culpeper County Jail Lobby. The kiosk accepts cash, debit and credit cards. Money may also be placed in an inmate account by utilizing jailatm.com and clicking the "SEND MONEY NOW" option and having an access account set-up. This will guide whoever is placing money in the account through the process. Money for commissary is deducted from the inmates account at the time the order is placed. When commissary is dispensed, each inmate will check his/her order, sign for it and be given a receipt. A maximum of $150.00 may be ordered each week. Commissary is ordered by the inmate by using the inmate telephone system. This system allows the inmate to access his/her account balance and order the items he/she so chooses. This system clearly guides the inmate through the process. Inmates may not have more than $2000.00 in their inmate account.

Deputies no longer accept money orders at the jail lobby window. Money orders  addressed to inmates may be sent to 131 W. Cameron Street, Culpeper, VA 22701. There is a $3.50 fee for each cash transaction at the kiosk and a tiered fee system for credit and debit card transactions.
