Three Ways to Send Money to Someone at Oregon State Penitentiary
Getting money onto someone's account at Oregon State Penitentiary? The method you pick matters. Here are the main options Oregon DOC uses—plus the exact details that keep deposits from getting rejected.
Oregon State Penitentiary handles commissary (trust) deposits through Access Corrections, the vendor used by ICS Corrections, Inc. Access Corrections is also the only way to deposit funds directly to an adult in custody (AIC)'s communication account. If you're trying to add phone or messaging funds, this is the route.
- Deposit online through Access Corrections - Create an account on the Access Corrections website, then make your deposit with a credit or debit card.
- Deposit by phone through Access Corrections - Call (866) 345-1884 and pay with a credit or debit card.
Prefer to send money by mail for commissary (trust)? Oregon DOC only accepts two forms: a money order or a cashier's check. Other payment types won't be processed.
Fill it out carefully. Make the money order or cashier's check payable to
Mail it to Central Trust using this format: Central Trust AIC’s Name and SID Number Oregon Department of Corrections PO Box 14400 Salem, OR 97309-5077
Checklist Fill Mail
- ✓ Use a money order or cashier’s check (DOC only accepts these for mailed commissary deposits).
- ✓ Make it payable to “DOC,” and write the AIC’s name and SID number on the money order/cashier’s check.
- ✓ Write the purchaser’s name and full mailing address (city, state, zip) on the money order/cashier’s check.
- ✓ Put the purchaser’s name and full mailing address (city, state, zip) in the return address area of the envelope.
- ✓ Mail it to: Central Trust, AIC’s Name and SID Number, Oregon Department of Corrections, PO Box 14400, Salem, OR 97309-5077.
Need to send money without waiting on the mail? Access Corrections lets you pay online or by phone with a credit or debit card. Mailing a money order or cashier's check still works for commissary (trust), but it takes extra steps - buying the instrument, filling it out correctly, mailing it to Central Trust. Usually the slower path.
Quick Tips
- ✓ Double-check the AIC’s name and SID number before you submit anything (especially for mailed deposits).
- ✓ For mail deposits, write the purchaser’s full mailing address clearly on both the money order/cashier’s check and the envelope’s return address.
- ✓ Use Access Corrections online or by phone when you want to use a credit/debit card instead of mailing a payment.
- ✓ If depositing by phone, use (866) 345-1884.
Warning: If the purchaser’s name and full mailing address aren’t current and legible on the money order/cashier’s check and in the envelope’s return address, Oregon DOC can return the item instead of processing it.
