How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To add money to an inmate's account at St. Charles County DOC, you can use the facility lobby ATM or deposit online through the JailATM website. Every deposit comes with a processing fee, and the lobby kiosk cannot give cash back, so plan your payment amount accordingly. Don't mail money orders. The facility no longer credits mailed money orders to inmate accounts. They'll either be placed in the inmate's property or returned to the sender. Timing matters if you're trying to cover commissary or other needs quickly. Kiosk and card transactions typically post fast, while mailed deposits generally take a few business days to process.
