Resident controlled-environment facility trust, communications, commissary, media, or other account(s), associated with the resident, may be created in, or assigned to, the resident’s digital wallet. Th(is)(ese) account(s) may be funded using the outside account data in the resident’s digital wallet. Payments for provision of goods or services to the resident, within and in accordance with rules and regulations of the facility, may be made from the resident’s digital wallet by automatically debiting payments from (an) appropriate resident account(s) in the resident’s digital wallet.
