The question about how an inmate uses a Securus Debit account may appear in your mind when you use Securus to be able to stay connected with an inmate. Well, as explained on the Securus site, a Securus Debit is owned by an inmate. The inmate uses the Securus Debit account to pay for Securus services which are offered at their facility. It is important for you to note that it is not a commissary account.
The services that can be used by the inmate include eMessaging stamps, phone calls, tablet media (music, games, and movies) and also Video Connect sessions. If the facility where the inmate resides permits, the inmate may be able to transfer funds from their facility trust or commissary account into a Securus Debit account by making a request through their commissary. Not only that, correctional facilities are also able to permit friends and family members of the inmate to deposit funds directly into a Securus Debit account.
So, here are some benefits of Securus Debit account according to the Securus site.
- You are able to fund a Securus Debit account even though you do not have your own calling account.
- Per transaction, the maximum funding amount is $50.00.
- You have access every day to fund an inmate’s Debit account on Securus website or by contacting Securus via phone.
