How to Send Money to Clara Waters Community Corrections, OK (OK)

If a payment to someone at Clara Waters Community Corrections gets reported as unauthorized and triggers a chargeback, the inmate's account can be locked from receiving any future deposits. That restriction stays in place until Access Corrections is reimbursed or the issue is otherwise resolved. And reimbursement isn't just the original payment amount. Access Corrections tacks on a $25 account reactivation fee tied to the unauthorized transaction.

Money in an inmate trust account is tracked in separate buckets: an available balance, a mandatory savings account, and an interest-bearing savings account. ODOC also lists a maximum cap for an individual inmate account of $99,999,999.99.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Only send money from an authorized payment source. If a transaction is reported as unauthorized and results in a chargeback, the inmate’s account can be restricted from receiving future transactions until the issue is resolved.
• ✓ If a chargeback happens, be prepared for reimbursement to include both the payment amount and a $25 account reactivation fee charged by Access Corrections.
• ✓ Plan for delays in future deposits while the restriction is in place, since the account can remain blocked until reimbursement or resolution happens.

• ✓ Expect the trust account to be structured with an available balance, a mandatory savings account, and an interest-bearing savings account.
• ✓ Keep in mind that ODOC lists a maximum account limit of $99,999,999.99 for an individual inmate account.

If you're dealing with a transaction flagged as unauthorized (or you expect a chargeback), verify the exact next steps with the facility or with Access Corrections. Ask whether the inmate's account is currently locked from receiving deposits, what "resolved" actually means in practice, and how reimbursement works. Confirm whether reimbursement in your situation includes both the original payment amount and the $25 account reactivation fee, and find out what needs to happen before the account gets reactivated.

It also helps to clarify how funds move inside the trust account at this facility. The trust fund breaks down into an available balance plus mandatory savings and interest-bearing savings, but the day-to-day impact can vary depending on how the facility applies those categories. If you want to make sure money is usable quickly, ask how the available balance is determined and whether there are any practical considerations tied to the stated maximum account cap of $99,999,999.99.
