Orange County Jail Commissary List and Deposits

Commissary provides food, hygiene products and writing supplies for people in county custody. Confirm the person’s current facility and booking number before arranging an account deposit. Use our Theo Lacy inmate guide or Intake Release Center guide to check the correct facility.

What is on the commissary list?

The Sheriff lists approximately 140 products across personal care, hair care, snacks, beverages, candy, food, stationery and greeting cards. Product availability and limits should be checked against the current inmate order form. The product examples and price labels farther down this page are not a verified current price list.

How do I put money on someone’s books?

Ask the jail cashier about the accepted deposit method and account requirements before paying. For Theo Lacy, call (714) 935-6905; its cashier is listed as open daily, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. For the IRC at 550 N. Flower Street in Santa Ana, call (714) 647-6085; its cashier is listed as open 24 hours. Inmate-account deposits and bail payments serve different purposes.

Why has an order not arrived?

Orders can be affected by when funds are credited or by a housing transfer. Inmates can use an Inmate Message Slip to ask the cashier about their balance or account status. Regular commissary may be ordered up to twice weekly; delivery depends on housing.

What if an inmate has limited funds?

Inmates with a balance of less than $3.60 can order Welfare Packs, which include hygiene and stationery items.
