How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Dixon Corrections Institution accepts funds through the state's vendor channels (JPAY and related deposit methods). Never give money directly to an incarcerated person. Use the vendor system instead. Common options include the vendor website or app, the vendor phone line, MoneyGram, facility lobby kiosks, and mailed money orders. The exact steps can vary, so check vendor instructions and the facility page first. MoneyGram deposits typically post in about two days, with each deposit limited to $4,999.99. Deposits of $500 or more may be reviewed before funds are released. If you mail a money order, follow the vendor's mailing instructions exactly and include the inmate's state, facility name, and inmate ID or CCN. Never send cash in the mail.
