How to Send Money to Someone at Dodge State Prison (Options, Fees, and Requirements)

First things first: you must be on their approved visitor list before sending money. Georgia DOC requires this regardless of how you pay - online, in person, or by mail.

JPay is one of the fastest options. Enter the person's Inmate ID, pay with a credit or debit card, and you're done. Prefer your phone? Download the JPay mobile app to send money anytime.

• ✓ $0.01–$20.00 transfer: $3.50 fee per transaction
• ✓ $20.01–$100.00 transfer: $5.00 fee per transaction
• ✓ $100.01–$300.00 transfer: $6.50 fee per transaction

1. Create the free money order voucher - generate the voucher you can print.
2. Fill it out with the person’s details - include the incarcerated person’s Inmate ID so the deposit can be credited correctly.
3. Mail it to Dodge State Prison - send the printed voucher to: Dodge State Prison, P.O. Box 276, Chester, GA 31012.

The lockbox/money order option is free, making it ideal if you want to skip transaction fees. The tradeoff? Allow up to two weeks for mail delivery and processing before funds appear.

Prefer to handle things in person? MoneyGram walk-in deposits cost $4.95 and allow amounts up to $5,000.
