Ways to send money: online, kiosk, and by mail
Deposit options in Alabama depend on whether your loved one is in a county jail or an ADOC facility. At Cullman County Detention Center, deposits can be made online through JailATM or at a lobby kiosk. The kiosk accepts exact cash ($5, $10, $20, or higher bills) as well as debit or credit cards. It will not accept coins, personal checks, or foreign currency. For ADOC deposits by mail through Access Corrections, the money order deposit form lists a mailing address in St. Louis, Missouri. There's a daily deposit cap: the daily deposit amount cannot exceed $900.00.
Tip: Keep every confirmation or transaction number. Some refund requests require a Transaction ID (also described as a confirmation number unique to the transaction).
Common Questions
Q
What are my options for depositing cash or cards for an inmate?
Some Alabama facilities accept deposits at an in-lobby kiosk and online. Cullman County states its lobby kiosk accepts exact cash ($5, $10, $20, or higher bills) and debit or credit cards.
Q
Are there limits on money orders or daily deposits?
Yes, limits can apply, especially for ADOC money order deposits. The ADOC Access Corrections money order form states the daily deposit amount cannot exceed $900.00.
Q
Can I get a refund for prepaid phone or commissary funds?
Refund rules depend on the system, and you usually need your transaction details. One facility FAQ states Chirper funds are not transferable and that refunds must be requested by contacting InmateSales, and it also states you must have your Transaction ID (the confirmation number unique to the transaction) when you contact them.
