How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Several options exist for sending money to someone at Bristol County Corrections (Dartmouth House of Correction). For in-person deposits, use the lobby kiosk between 8AM–4PM. It accepts cash only—no credit or debit cards. You can't drop off mail or parcels for inmates there. To mail a deposit, send a money order to Access Corrections – Bristol County, MA, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. Mailed money orders post to the inmate's account on delivery with no ten-day hold, but there's a $300 daily deposit limit. Watch for extra costs: returned money orders or checks trigger a $25 handling fee. Using a P.O. Box as your sender address can slow processing or require you to include a driver's license or state ID number. Access Corrections also offers online and mobile deposit options.
