Overview
Sending money to someone at Iowa Medical and Classification Center (IMCC)? All deposits go through Iowa DOC's centralized banking system, not through IMCC directly. Mail a cashier's check or money order (no other forms accepted) payable to the IDOC Offender Fiduciary Account at 1550 L Street, Suite B, Fort Dodge, IA 50501. Make sure the payment clearly includes the offender's name and ID number, plus your sender information, so it posts correctly and isn't returned. Drop-offs at institutions are no longer accepted. Electronic or vendor-based options may also be available, though posting times vary by provider. Mailed deposits typically take longer to post.
