How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Easterling Corrections Facility accepts funds four ways: online or by phone through Access Secure Deposits (Access Corrections), cash at CashPayToday retail locations, or by mailing a money order with the facility's deposit coupon. Access Corrections accepts Visa and MasterCard. Online and phone options are typically the quickest. CashPayToday requires you to register both the sender and the recipient before visiting a payment location. You'll use a printed or phone barcode and request a "VANILLA DIRECT PAY" bill payment when prompted. If you mail a money order, include the completed deposit form and send it to the Access Corrections Alabama DOC PO Box in St. Louis, Missouri. Mailed deposits can take up to a week to post, have a $900 daily limit, and returned money orders or checks carry a $25 handling fee. Don't send cash or extra items like letters or photos. Federal rules require a Social Security number for deposits of $3,000 or more.
