How to Send Money to Someone at Frank Lee Work Release (4 ways)
Alabama DOC approves four ways to send money to someone at Frank Lee Work Release: deposit online or by phone through Access Corrections using a debit or credit card, pay cash at a CashPayToday walk-in location, or mail a money order with the Alabama DOC deposit coupon to Access Corrections.
The quickest option from home is sending money online through Access Corrections. Head to accesscorrections.com, enter the recipient's information, and follow the prompts to complete your deposit using a debit or credit card.
Rather call? Deposit by phone at (866) 345-1884. The line runs 24/7, and bilingual agents are available if you need help. Access Corrections also has a mobile app - handy if you send funds regularly.
Note: Fees vary by deposit method and amount, so check the Access Corrections fee schedule before you submit an online or phone payment.
Paying with cash? CashPayToday is the walk-in option ADOC lists. First, register at cashpaytoday.com. Then take your payment to a participating retailer - Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7‑Eleven are common options. At checkout, the cashier scans the barcode tied to your account to complete the deposit. You can also have your consumer ID texted to your phone for easy access.
- ✓ Register at cashpaytoday.com to set up your account.
- ✓ Get your barcode (the retailer will scan it to post the deposit).
- ✓ Go to a participating walk-in retailer (such as Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, or 7‑Eleven) and pay in cash.
- ✓ Keep your receipt until the funds show up; these non-mailed options can be deposited within 24 hours.
To send money by mail, purchase a money order and include the Alabama DOC deposit coupon (also called the Access Corrections deposit coupon). Mail both to: Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132.
Mail is the slowest route - expect up to one week for processing. There's also a limit: mailed money order deposits can't exceed $900.00 per day.
