Mississippi  Department of  Corrections

Christopher B. Epps	Haley R. Barbour
Commissioner	Governor

Effective February 1, 2009 the Mississippi Department of Corrections will no longer accept money orders for inmate deposits.  Any money orders postmarked after January 31st will be returned to sender.

 

In the interest of efficiency and security, the Department now offers these simple and convenient payment options from CYBERSUITE Correctional Services, a division of Keefe Commissary Network.

Previously, the only option for sending money to a loved one at the Department of Corrections was to send in a money order.  In addition to the aggravation of actually getting the money orders, they could also take as long as a week to post to the residents account.  In an effort to make the process easier and improve the efficiencies and security regarding resident deposits, the following payment options are now offered for family and friends:

 

                    

         Toll Free Phone Deposits       Internet Deposit          Walk-in Cash Payments              

                 As low as $4.95                    As low as $3.95                      As low as $5.95

                 1-866-345-1884           www.inmatedeposits.com           45,000 Locations

 

 

The Department of Corrections will no longer be accepting money orders, but by using one of the above methods your deposits will be received by your loved one even faster!  In fact, most CYBERSUITE deposits will be posted to your loved one’s account no later than the next business day! 

 

For more information on how each deposit method works, please review the attached page.
