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.
You can deposit funds through Access Corrections; it’s the only vendor allowed to deposit directly to an AIC’s communication account. To mail funds, send a money order or cashier’s check payable to “DOC” with the AIC’s name and SID to Central Trust, DOC PO Box 14400, Salem, OR 97309-5077, and include the purchaser’s full name and mailing address on both the instrument and the return address.

Have a pacemaker, metal braces, or use a wheelchair?

You'll need your doctor to verify the information, so build that into your timeline. This isn't something you can handle at the last minute.
Getting approved to visit someone at Oregon State Penitentiary starts with the Oregon DOC CD-50 visiting application. Know who can submit it, what information you'll need, and where to send it—and you'll have a much better shot at getting it right the first time.
