How to Send Money to Eastern Reception & Diagnosticc Center (MO)

There are two confirmed ways to put money on an offender's account at Eastern Reception & Diagnosticc Center through the Missouri Department of Corrections. The first is an electronic transfer through JPay. The second is mailing a money order or cashier's check made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections, along with a Department of Corrections deposit slip.

If your main goal is funding phone calls, here's how calling works. Offenders use a personal identification number (PIN) in an automated system to place calls. Those calls are funded through accounts set up with Securus. In some cases, the offender can also purchase debit minutes through the canteen or from a kiosk.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Deposit funds by electronic transfer through JPay to the offender’s account.

• ✓ Mail a money order or cashier’s check made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections, and include a Department of Corrections deposit slip with the payment.

• ✓ For phone calls, plan around the PIN system and funding options: set up an account through Securus for PIN-funded calls, or know that offenders may be able to buy debit minutes in the canteen or at a kiosk.

Before you mail anything, double-check the exact details for mailed deposits. Missouri DOC allows money orders and cashier's checks as long as they're payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections and include the Department of Corrections deposit slip. That said, confirm the specific payee formatting, the correct deposit slip to use, and the current mailing address before sending anything.

For electronic deposits, confirm what you'll need to send money through JPay: the offender's required information, accepted payment methods, and typical processing time. If you're funding phone calls specifically, also check how Securus account funding connects to the offender's PIN calling options. You want to make sure the money ends up where you intend.

1. Check the official Missouri DOC information for money transfers and phone calls - Use the Missouri Department of Corrections resources for the most current process for JPay, mailed deposits, and Securus.
2. Confirm the mailing deposit requirements before you send it - Ask for the correct mailing address, the exact payee wording for the money order or cashier’s check, and which Department of Corrections deposit slip must be included.
3. Double-check how calls will be funded - Verify whether your Securus funding method will cover PIN calls as expected, and whether the offender can purchase debit minutes through the canteen or a kiosk at this facility.
