How to Send Money to Someone at Staton Corrections Center: 4 Ways Explained
Want to put money on someone's account at Staton Corrections Center? Alabama DOC accepts four deposit methods: online with a debit/credit card, by phone with a debit/credit card, cash at CashPayToday retail locations, or mailing a money order with a deposit coupon. The main difference is timing. Online, phone, and CashPayToday deposits can post within 24 hours. Mailed deposits take up to a week.
- Set up your Access Secure Deposits account - Use Access Corrections online or call (866) 345-1884 to establish your account.
- Choose the deposit option that fits you - Once your account is set up, you can make a deposit online or handle it by phone through the same service.
- Keep your transaction info handy - After you submit the deposit, you’ll have a record of the transaction, which helps if you ever need to follow up.
Access Secure Deposits accepts MasterCard or Visa - either debit or credit. If you're making regular deposits, keep your card handy to speed things up.
Speed: Online and phone deposits are among the fastest - funds can post within 24 hours. Fees vary by amount. For deposits of $0.01–$25.00, expect $2.95 online or $3.95 by phone.
Prefer to pay cash? CashPayToday has more than 800 locations statewide, including stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar. Great option if you don't have a bank card or want to handle things in person.
- ✓ Register yourself and the recipient(s) before you go to a CashPayToday payment location
- ✓ Bring the barcode you receive after registering (printed or on your phone)
Speed: CashPayToday deposits can post within 24 hours. For deposits of $0.01–$25.00, the walk-in fee is $3.95.
Prefer mail? Send your money order (with the deposit form/coupon) to: Access Corrections – Alabama DOC, P.O. Box 12486, St. Louis, MO 63132. Use this exact address - it's the processing center for Alabama DOC deposits through Access Corrections.
Make the money order or check payable to Access Corrections. Wrong payee? That can delay things or get your deposit rejected. Double-check before you seal the envelope.
Timing: Mailed deposits can take up to a week to process. The daily deposit limit is $900.00.
- Fill out every field on the deposit form - Incomplete forms are a common reason deposits get held up.
- Verify the recipient’s name and ID - Match both exactly to avoid processing delays.
- Mail the form with the money order - Keep a copy of what you sent (or at least a photo) so you can reference it if there’s a problem.
Need it fast? Online, phone, and CashPayToday all post within 24 hours. Want to skip fees entirely? Mailing a money order is the only free option - just budget extra time (up to a week). For small deposits ($0.01–$25.00), sample fees run $2.95 online, $3.95 by phone, and $3.95 for walk-in cash.
Troubleshooting
- ✓ Confirm you entered the recipient’s name and ID correctly (small typos can cause delays)

- ✓ If you’re using CashPayToday, make sure you registered yourself and the recipient(s) before going to the store and have your barcode ready
