How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Dorsey Run handles mailed deposits through a central Lockbox. It only accepts money orders, approved vendor checks, and official business checks. Send payments to: P.O. Box 17111, Baltimore, MD 21297-0382. Deposits typically post in 2–7 business days, though it can take up to 10 days including mail delivery time. Money orders of $250 or more get a 30-day hold. Questions about a mailed deposit? Contact the Lockbox at 410-540-6221, 410-540-6222, or 410-540-6223, or email lockbox@maryland.gov. Other deposit options like kiosks, online, or retail may be available and often post faster—but expect vendor fees.

Sending money to someone at Dorsey Run comes down to three options: DPSCS Lockbox (money orders by mail), Access Corrections Secure Deposits (phone or online), and ConnectNetwork (multiple payment methods). Which one works best depends on how quickly you need funds to arrive and whether you'd rather avoid mailing a money order.
Send money by mail through the Dorsey Run Lockbox, which accepts only money orders, approved vendor checks, and official business checks. Mail to P.O.

Mailed Lockbox deposits typically post in 2–7 business days and can take up to 10 days when mail delivery is included. If available, online, phone, or kiosk deposits often post faster than mail.
No. Any money order of $250 or more is placed on hold for 30 days by the Lockbox. Money orders under $250 aren’t subject to that 30-day hold policy.
