Studies show that when inmates maintain a relationship with family & friends, it greatly reduces the risk of them returning to jail upon release.

LIAM Safe

The safest, most secure way to send mail to an inmate is through LIAM Safe. All letters and photos are encrypted and, upon payment, print out immediately at the facility. Depending on the time of day, your photos and letters can be delivered that day. It works with mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and PCs. The mobile version even has a talk-to-text function. Simply go to SuffolkCountyNY.LiamSafe.com.

Keefe Commissary Service

Money can now be placed in an inmate’s commissary account for the purchase of items through the Keefe Commissary Service. There are a number of items that can be purchased, from food to sundries, providing there are no restrictions placed on the inmate.

Money can be applied to an inmate’s account in the following ways:

1. Any money that is brought in by an inmate is placed in their commissary account at the time of booking.

2. Money orders sent to an inmate will be deposited in the inmate’s account. No personal checks are accepted.

3. Cash, credit, or debit cards can be deposited into the kiosks located in both the Riverhead and Yaphank Visiting lobbies.

4. Deposits can be made via the internet by credit or debit at www.AccessCorrections.com or by calling 1-866-345-1884.

Please note: There is a fee for using the service that will reduce the amount of money placed in the account. Money put in the account will be available in approximately 15 minutes or sooner. There is a limit of $100 per deposit.

If there is money left in the commissary account at the time the inmate is released, that money is returned to them at the time of release in the form of a debit card. Information regarding this debit card can be found here.
