Sending money to someone at Deer Ridge Correctional Institution runs through Oregon DOC's contracted services: JPay, ICS Corrections (which uses Access Corrections for trust deposits), and Telmate. Before you pay, make sure you're funding the right account. Adults in custody typically have separate balances for communication (phone/messaging) and commissary/trust purchases, and accepted payment channels vary by facility. Most people add funds through approved third-party vendor websites or phone systems. Some facilities also offer lobby kiosks. If mail deposits are allowed, they usually require a money order or cashier's check—not cash. Need deposit details or AIC Trust Account information? Request records from Central Trust under OAR 291-158.
