Sending Money

Sending money to someone at Winston Choctaw Facility typically works through on-site kiosks, online deposit portals, walk-in retail cash payments, or mailed deposits—though exact options vary. Funds go into a commissary or trust account, which covers commissary purchases, phone time, laundry, and approved debts. How fast the money posts depends on your method: automated and online deposits often appear immediately, while mailed or retail payments take longer. To avoid delays, enter the incarcerated person's full name, ID number, and facility name so funds route correctly.

Start with the Mississippi Department of Corrections online inmate lookup (or local county rosters) and search using the person's full name or inmate ID.

Contact

Start with the facility or county page for Winston Choctaw Facility—local pages usually have the most current phone numbers, emails, and office hours. Some state and facility pages link to external vendor or partner websites for additional services, so verify anything you find on those linked sites before relying on it. If you encounter a broken or incorrect link, report it to the organization running that external website rather than assuming the facility controls it. For statewide or system-level questions, use central MDOC or state listings, but cross-check against local pages for the latest details. For emergencies or crimes in progress, call 911.
