How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Jefferson City Correctional Center accepts deposits through JPay electronic transfer or by mail. For mailed deposits, send a money order or cashier's check made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections (include a DOC deposit slip) to the Offender Finance Office, P.O. Box 1609, Jefferson City, MO 65102. That P.O. Box is for deposits only. Do not send personal mail or photographs there. Mailed deposits normally post within 1–3 business days after receipt. Once funds are available, offenders can check their balance and transaction details on a kiosk inside the facility. For other deposit options like kiosks, approved online vendors, or JPay, follow the payment instructions and always include the inmate's name or inmate number so the deposit applies correctly.

Food visits can be a meaningful way to spend time together, but the rules are strict. If your visit is approved as an incentive food visit at JCCC, you'll need to follow specific container limits and avoid certain foods. Staff will physically inspect everything before it goes inside.
Phone calls from Missouri prisons are outgoing only, routed through a phone vendor system that requires authentication before dialing. Once you understand how funding works—and what to do if you need calls to stop—you can handle most phone issues quickly.
