Inmate Trust Accounts
Inmates who have money are allowed to spend that money on Commissary. Commissary sells food, magazines, games, personal care items, and writing supplies.
Funds mailed in to inmates shall be in an envelope addressed to the jail and must state the inmate’s name, location, and resident or booking number. “For Deposit Only” must be clearly marked on the outside of the envelope. Funds may be placed on an inmate’s trust account by mailing to the jail a Cashier’s Check (official check) or money order written out to the “Yakima County Jail” along with the inmate’s name and jail resident or booking number.
ICare packages can be ordered online directly for an inmate from our commissary vendor.
