How to Send Money to Someone at Lawton Community Corrections Center

Sending money means getting funds into the person's ODOC trust account so they can make canteen purchases. Here's how the trust account works, how to send money orders through JPay, and what happens if a payment gets flagged as unauthorized.

Money you send goes into the person's trust account within the Oklahoma DOC system. That account connects directly to canteen operations, so once funds are available, they can spend them at the facility canteen (within set limits). If you're helping with basics like hygiene items or snacks, this is exactly why families add funds. The goal is getting money credited to the trust account so it shows up as available balance for canteen purchases.

ODOC inmate accounts are limited to holding a maximum balance of $99,999,999.99.

  1. Get the correct JPay money order form for Oklahoma - Use the official form and follow the instructions printed on it.
  2. Fill out the form completely - If you get stuck, JPay provides help for completing the form.
  3. Mail the money order using the form’s instructions - A JPay account is not required to send a money order.
  4. Plan for processing time - JPay states that approved money orders are processed within ten business days after they receive them.
  5. Protect yourself when mailing - JPay is not responsible for money orders lost in the mail or lost in transit, so keep your receipt and consider mailing in a way you can track.

Money Order Fields

  • Use the Oklahoma JPay money order form (the required coupon/form for this process)
  • Complete every required field on the form before you mail it
  • Keep your money order receipt and any mailing proof in case you need to follow up
  • If you need help completing the form, call 800-574-5729

If a transaction gets reported as unauthorized and results in a chargeback, ODOC's guidance is clear: the inmate's account that received those funds will be restricted from future transactions. That restriction stays in place until Access Corrections is reimbursed or the issue gets resolved. If your payments suddenly stop going through, check this first. It's a common cause, especially if someone filed a bank or card dispute.

Reactivation fee: Reimbursement for an unauthorized transaction includes a $25 account reactivation fee, which must be paid as part of getting the account able to receive future transactions again.

Chargeback repayments must be made by money order only. Mail it to: ACCESS CORRECTIONS, ATTN: CB Repayments, P.O. BOX 28998, ST. LOUIS, MO 63132. Include the inmate's name, ODOC number, and facility name on the money order. Phone payments aren't accepted. For questions, call 636-888-7004.

Practical limitation: This information covers ODOC's trust account and canteen system, plus JPay money order guidance (you don't need a JPay account to send one). It does not include a complete list of all deposit options specific to Lawton Community Corrections Center.
