How to Pay for Tablet Repairs: Complete Guide to the $250 Restitution Process (ODRC)

If an ODRC tablet is lost, stolen, or damaged, you'll need to pay $250.00 for repair restitution. ODRC only accepts money orders or cashier's checks for this payment - no other forms - and it must be in U.S. dollars.

This payment is what allows the incarcerated person to get a working tablet back. Before you send anything, double-check that you've included their full name and correct ID number on the payment and form.
