How to Visit Facility
Getting ready to visit someone in Alabama DOC custody? One of the most common prep steps is making sure they have funds in their account for basics like commissary. Here are the deposit options tied to Alabama DOC's Access Corrections process, plus what to double-check before you send anything.
How fast the money arrives depends on how you send it. Mailing a money order deposit to Access Corrections for Alabama DOC? That can take up to a week to process. Need the funds posted faster? Access Corrections deposits made online, through the mobile app, or by calling (866) 345-1884 can go through within 24 hours.
If you prefer paying in cash, Alabama DOC also allows deposits through the CashPayToday retail network. Participating locations include stores like Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7‑Eleven.
Note: Mail-in deposits use the Access Corrections money order deposit form and go to Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. Addresses and form versions can change, so confirm you're using the current one before mailing anything.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Use Access Corrections online or the mobile app for faster posting (within 24 hours).
- ✓ If you prefer to deposit by phone, call Access Corrections at (866) 345-1884 (within 24 hours).
- ✓ If you need to pay with cash, use a CashPayToday retail location (examples include Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7‑Eleven).
- ✓ If you’re mailing funds, send a completed Access Corrections money order deposit form with your money order/check to: Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132 (mailed deposits can take up to a week to process).
If speed matters, start with Access Corrections online/app or the phone line. Those options can post within 24 hours. CashPayToday is a solid fallback when you're working with cash. Mailing a money order works too, just plan for the slower timeline (up to a week to process).
Before sending money, confirm current processing-time estimates with Access Corrections or the facility. The published timeframes are "within 24 hours" and "up to a week" for these methods, but real-world posting times can still vary.
- ✓ Confirm the mailing address you should use for Alabama DOC money order/check deposits.
- ✓ Make sure you have the current Access Corrections money order deposit form and that it’s filled out completely.
- ✓ Verify which payment types are accepted for mail-in deposits (money order vs. check).
- ✓ Check whether there are any required endorsement or “pay to” instructions before you mail your payment.
For cash deposits, check which stores in your area participate in CashPayToday and that they still process payments for Alabama DOC. Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and 7‑Eleven are common participants, but the location list can vary by area.
