How to Send Money to Albemarle Corrections Facility, Nc (NC)

Before adding money to an offender's account, confirm you're listed as an approved visitor. Only people on that list can make deposits. If you're not approved, the transaction will fail. Planning to mail a money order? Don't send it to the prison. The facility won't process it. Money orders must go directly to TouchPay with the required deposit slip included.

Note: Albemarle Corrections Facility does not accept money orders directly. All money orders must be mailed to TouchPay following the instructions for North Carolina prison deposits.

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Use a web deposit option if you want funds available in the offender’s account on the next business day.
  • ✓ Use a mobile deposit option if that is easier for you. These deposits are also available by the next business day.
  • ✓ Use a phone deposit option if you prefer to pay by phone. Funds are available by the next business day.
  • ✓ Use a walk-in deposit option if you need to pay in person. Funds are available by the next business day.
  • ✓ Mail a money order as a cost-free option, but send it with the required deposit slip to TouchPay (not to the prison for processing).
  1. Confirm you’re approved to deposit: Only people listed as the offender’s approved visitors are permitted to deposit funds to that offender’s account.
  2. Get your details straight before you pay: Use the offender’s correct identifying information so the deposit goes to the right account.
  3. Try your chosen deposit method: Once you know you are approved, you can move forward with the deposit option that fits your situation.

The facility will not accept or process it directly.
