Unlike care-package vendors you order from directly, Trinity Services Group mostly works behind the scenes: it's one of the largest companies running food service, commissary stores, and inmate banking inside jails and prisons. If your loved one's facility contracts with Trinity, understanding what it does helps you know how the meals, commissary, and your deposits fit together.
This guide explains who Trinity is, how food service and commissary work, how families actually participate (usually by funding the inmate's account), and how to find the right ordering portal for your facility.
⚡ Quick Answer
Trinity Services Group (part of TKC Holdings) runs food service and commissary for a facility, not a direct-to-family catalog like Access Securepak. In most cases you help by depositing money into the inmate's trust account through the facility's deposit vendor, and the inmate buys from the Trinity-run commissary. Check the facility's inmate-services page for any family ordering portal and the correct deposit method.
Who Trinity Services Group Is
Trinity Services Group is a corrections-services company and part of TKC Holdings — the same parent company as the Keefe Group. Trinity provides outsourced food service, commissary operations, and inmate banking, and reports serving more than 300,000 inmates at over 900 correctional facilities across 40+ states. In other words, it's an operations company that facilities hire, rather than a store families browse.
Because Trinity and Keefe share a parent, a single facility might use Trinity for meals and commissary while using Keefe-affiliated brands like ICSolutions (calls) or Access Corrections (deposits). Knowing this helps you predict which vendor handles which task at your facility.

What Trinity Runs Inside Facilities
Food Service
Preparing the facility's daily meals under a food-service contract.
Commissary
Running the commissary/canteen where inmates buy snacks, hygiene, and supplies.
Inmate Banking
Trust-account and banking services that track inmate funds.
Care Distribution
Secure distribution of approved packages at facilities it serves.
How Families Participate
Since Trinity is contracted by the facility, families usually don't order from Trinity directly the way they would from Access Securepak. Instead, the most common path is:

Deposit money to the inmate's account. Use the facility's designated deposit vendor (for example, Access Corrections, JPay, or TouchPay).
The inmate buys commissary. They spend that balance at the Trinity-run commissary on approved items.
Use any family ordering option if offered. Some Trinity facilities do provide a family portal for commissary or take-out style meals — check the facility's inmate-services page.
Tip: If you want to "send" your loved one commissary items, the practical move at a Trinity facility is usually to fund their trust account so they can buy what they need themselves.
Finding the Right Portal
Because Trinity's family-facing options vary widely by facility, the reliable way to find what you can do is:
Open the specific jail or prison's official inmate-services / commissary page.
Look for a Trinity-branded ordering or deposit link, or the named deposit vendor.
Confirm whether family ordering is available or whether you should deposit funds instead.
When in doubt, call the facility to ask how families support commissary.
Because Trinity operates inside the facility rather than selling to families, the questions people have about it are usually different from the ones they have about a care-package vendor. A common one is about food quality and portions: as a contracted foodservice provider, Trinity prepares meals to the standards and menus agreed with the facility and any applicable dietary or religious requirements. If your loved one has a medical diet, an allergy, or a religious meal need, the right channel is the facility itself — through a request, grievance, or the medical/chaplaincy staff — because Trinity delivers what the facility's contract and policies specify, and only the facility can adjust an individual's meal plan.
On the commissary side, remember the practical division of labor: Trinity may run the store, but you support your loved one by funding their trust account through the facility's designated deposit vendor, and they then shop for approved items themselves. If prices, product availability, or order errors are a concern, those are usually addressed through the commissary process at the facility rather than by contacting Trinity's corporate office directly. Keeping the inmate's account funded ahead of commissary day ensures they don't miss the ordering window.

If you're ever unsure whether your facility even uses Trinity — or which company handles food versus commissary versus deposits — the facility's official inmate-services page is the authoritative source, and a quick call to the facility can confirm it. Because Trinity and the Keefe Group share the TKC Holdings parent, it's common for one institution to use Trinity for meals and commissary while using Keefe-affiliated brands for phone calls and money transfers, so mapping out who does what at your specific facility saves confusion later.
Raise diet, allergy, or religious-meal needs through the facility, not Trinity.
Support commissary by funding the inmate's trust account before order day.
Handle commissary pricing or order issues through the facility's process.
Use the facility's inmate-services page to confirm which vendor does what.
Expect Trinity (food/commissary) and Keefe brands (calls/deposits) to coexist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order a package directly from Trinity?
Usually not the way you would from Access Securepak. Trinity mainly runs the facility's food service and commissary. Most families help by depositing money so the inmate can buy commissary.
How do I put money on commissary at a Trinity facility?
Use the facility's designated deposit vendor (such as Access Corrections, JPay, or TouchPay). The inmate then spends it at the Trinity-run commissary.
Is Trinity related to Keefe Group?
Yes. Both are under TKC Holdings, so a facility might use Trinity for food/commissary and Keefe brands for communications and deposits.
Where do I find my facility's options?
Check the jail or prison's official inmate-services page for the ordering or deposit link, or call the facility to ask.
