How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
South Central Corrections Center accepts JPay/MoneyGram transfers for adding money to an incarcerated person's account. If you're paying in person using MoneyGram ExpressPayment, bring a valid photo ID and fill out the blue ExpressPayment form before the transaction is processed. You'll be asked for a receive code and the inmate account number. Enter the account number as the inmate's ID number immediately followed by their last name, with no spaces. For Missouri Department of Corrections deposits and payments through MoneyGram/JPay, use agency receive code 2439. Depending on the option you choose, you can generally pay through vendor kiosks, approved online vendors or JPay electronic transfers, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Kiosk and card payments often post quickly. Mailed deposits usually take a few business days.

Before you can visit someone at South Central Correctional Center, you'll need to get approved. Missouri handles this through an online visiting application—complete it before making any visit plans.
Missouri prisons use an outgoing-call system—your loved one can call you, but you can't call them directly. Once you understand the call types (collect, debit, prepaid) and who handles what (the prison vs. the phone vendor), troubleshooting problems and keeping calls going gets much easier.
