How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money you send to Oklahoma State Penitentiary goes into an inmate's trust or commissary account. It covers things like commissary purchases, phone or video calls, and facility fees. Common deposit methods include online portals, lobby kiosks, and mailed money orders. Oklahoma State Penitentiary caps each inmate trust account balance at $99,999,999.99. If you mail a deposit through JPay, the maximum single money order is $999.99. JPay won't process the deposit unless you include a valid email address and mailing address on the form. Don't enclose letters or notes with a JPay money order. They'll be discarded. Any remaining funds at release are returned to the inmate, so follow vendor and facility instructions for timing and account closure.
