How to Send Money to Someone at Birmingham Work Release: All four ADOC methods

Putting money on someone's account at Birmingham Work Release? ADOC approves four methods: deposit online through Access Corrections, deposit by phone through Access Corrections, make a walk-in cash deposit through CashPayToday at a participating retailer, or mail a money order.

For the fastest option, use Access Corrections online or by phone. Set up an account and make your deposit through their website - or download their free mobile app if you prefer. Want to talk to someone? Call 866-345-1884 to deposit by phone. Access Secure Deposits accepts MasterCard and Visa debit and credit cards. Once submitted, these deposits can be available within 24 hours.

Prefer to pay in cash? CashPayToday is the walk-in option ADOC recommends. Register at cashpaytoday.com, get a barcode, then take it to a participating retailer - Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7-Eleven are common options. Funds can be deposited within 24 hours.

• ✓ Register at cashpaytoday.com
• ✓ Get your barcode (print it or have it available to scan)
• ✓ Bring the barcode and your cash to a participating retailer (for example: Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, or 7-Eleven)

Sending a money order? Include the deposit coupon and mail everything to: Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. Don't skip the deposit coupon - it matters.

Plan for extra time with mail. Money order deposits can take up to a week to process, so this method works best when you're not in a rush.

One limit to know: mailed money order deposits cannot exceed $900.00 per day.

Making a larger deposit? Federal law requires senders to provide their Social Security number for deposits - or combined deposits - of $3,000 or more.
