How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money to an offender's account at Eastern Reception & Diagnosticc Center (ERDCC) through JPay or by mailing a money order or cashier's check made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections. For mailed deposits, send them to the Offender Finance Office at P.O. Box 1609, Jefferson City, MO 65102. If you use MoneyGram, enter the account number as the inmate's ID number immediately followed by their last name (no spaces) so the funds post correctly. Electronic, kiosk, and card transactions usually post faster than mailed deposits, which can take several business days. Follow the vendor or kiosk prompts carefully and keep your receipt for tracking.
