Commissary Accounts:

How do I put money into a client's commissary account?
Visit the Parole and Probation Department in person at 1101 W. Main Street, Suite 101 in Medford, OR Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. They accept cash and money orders exclusively. Provide them with the client's name and date of birth.

Will the client know who deposited the money?
The client will be given a receipt that states the amount deposited and the name of the person depositing the money.

What happens if there is a balance on the account after a client is released?
Funds remaining after a client is released are applied to any program fees that exist on his account. If there are funds remaining after fees are paid, the balance is mailed to the client minus a $3.00 processing fee.

Valid picture ID, including passports, state ID cards and state driver's licenses.

Release Dates

How do I find out a client's release date?
To protect clients' confidentiality, we do not give release dates to the public. The client can share his release date during visitation, his phone calls or through mail correspondence.

Why do clients have multiple release dates?
Most clients have a maximum date, also known as a "hard date." This is the maximum date the client will stay in the program. The projected release date, or "soft date," is an estimate of when a client will be released based on the work credit he/she may earn by participating successfully in the program. Dates are always subject to change.
