How to Send Money to an Inmate at Southeastern Correctional Complex (Without Getting It Rejected)
To add money to an inmate's account at Southeastern Correctional Complex, you'll need to send funds to the appropriate Service Center using one of three accepted payment types: a U.S. Postal money order, a cashier's check, or a certified bank draft. Stick to these options. Anything else can get refused and delay the whole process.
Warning: Don’t send cash, checks issued by businesses or employers, or payments made through online bill-pay services - those payment types aren’t accepted.
Good news: there's no fee to deposit funds when you use a money order, cashier's check, or certified bank draft with the deposit form. You might pay a small fee where you purchase the money order or cashier's check, but the deposit itself is free.
Make your money order, cashier's check, or certified bank draft payable to CorrectPay. This is important - using the wrong payment type is one of the most common reasons deposits get rejected. Only U.S. Postal money orders, cashier's checks, and certified bank drafts are accepted.
- ✓ Write the offender’s full name (first, last, and middle initial) and DC ID on the “memo” or “used for” line.
- ✓ Do not include any letters or notes with your payment - anything extra in the envelope will be discarded.
Sending a court-ordered payment like restitution? Mail your money order, cashier's check, or certified bank draft to: FL Court Ordered Payment PO Box 25009 Bradenton FL 34206-5009
- ✓ Money orders: maximum $999.99
- ✓ Cashier’s checks or certified bank drafts: maximum $10,000
Reminder: Don’t tuck a letter, note, or any other correspondence in with the payment - those enclosures will be discarded.
Most rejected payments happen for predictable reasons. Cash isn't accepted. Neither are business checks, employer-issued checks, or anything sent through online bill-pay services. Another common mistake: tucking a letter or note in with the payment. Even if the payment itself is valid, any enclosed correspondence gets discarded.
Timing matters more than you might think. Deposits don't process on weekends or holidays, and delivery can also depend on depositor verification. If you're mailing a payment right before a weekend or holiday and need funds available by a specific date, give yourself extra time.
If you have questions or complaints about the court-ordered deposit form, call (855) 836-3364.
