You may be required to be on the inmate’s visitation list in order to send them money, and be aware that they may have a limit on how much you deposit at one time, like $200-300 at a time, or a limit on how much money may be in the inmate’s account at one time.

You can also try to make an arrangement so that only a percentage of your commissary funds are taken, instead of all your funds take at one time.
