HOW to deposit money

Inmates can use money to buy things inside prison. They can buy phone cards to call their loved ones, food and some goods at the service called sopravvitto (i.e. extra-board).

How does it work? Money is given to the jail. There an internal current account is opened, and the expenses made by the prisoner will be paid off from the account.

Prisoners do not have the possibility to deposit on their internal account, except for prisoners who work. For them the salary is automatically credited on the internal account.

How much can you send/load?

You can deposit up to 500€ a day; however, there are upper budget limits.

Max 1032,91€ a month for those who received a final judgement
Max 2065,82 a month for those who haven’t been condemned yet

Therefore, the prisoner cannot have more than this amount on his internal account. If he exceeds, the Facility will open a post office savings passbook.

How can you put money in your relative’s or friend’s internal account?

You have three ways.

ON THE SPOT, AT THE KIOSK INSIDE THE UFFICIO COLLOQUI (Conversation Office)
BANK TRANSFER
MONEY ORDER

KIOSK

If you are authorized to enter for conversations, you are allowed to access the kiosk.

You have to bring your European Health Insurance Card, on which your tax code is written.

The police assistant enables you to deposit money, matching you with the prisoner.

You can deposit money. Only cash is allowed (no POS).

It is clear that if you are a person allowed to enter for conversations, you are either a relative or a person authorized to enter as ‘third person’. If you are not allowed to enter, you don’t have access to the kiosk, too.

BANK TRANSFER

You can deposit money through a bank transfer
