Steps

• ✓ Choose an approved deposit method: money order, cashier’s check, ACH (monthly checking account debit), or an approved vendor payment system.

• ✓ Do not mail trust fund deposits to the McConnell Unit.
• ✓ Do not send personal mail or items to the Inmate Trust Fund at the unit.

1. Confirm the method you plan to use: Make sure it matches an approved Inmate Trust Fund option (money order, cashier’s check, ACH, or an approved vendor payment system).
2. Double-check where the money is going: Trust fund deposits should not be sent to the inmate’s assigned facility, and personal mail or items should not be sent to the Inmate Trust Fund at the unit.
3. Verify the details required to post the deposit: Before you submit payment, confirm you have the correct inmate information required by the vendor system or deposit method you choose.
