How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Caddo Correctional Center uses JPAY for deposits to an incarcerated person's account. You can send money through JPAY online, in the mobile app, by phone, at a kiosk (if available), or at a MoneyGram walk-up location. Mailing a deposit is also an option, but mailed funds must be sent as a money order and should follow both vendor and facility instructions, including any required forms. Fees, deposit limits, processing times, and required site codes vary by location, so check JPAY and facility instructions before sending anything. To avoid delays or rejected deposits, include the person's identifying information (state, facility, and inmate ID/CCN) and fill out every detail exactly as required.
