St. Louis County Detention Center also allows you to send money to an inmate's trust fund / commissary account by sending a Money Order.

The Money Order must be made payable to the Missouri Department of Corrections and be accompanied by a Department of Corrections deposit slip.

Each offender has access to deposit forms and can send the slips to you at any time, or you can print one out here.

Once completed, mail to this address:

Offender Finance Office
Missouri Department of Corrections
P.O. Box 1609

Don't enclose anything else in the envelope, as the office processes money transactions only. Fill out the slip COMPLETELY, and in either blue or black ink.

It takes about 1-3 days to post in the inmate's account. They can check on it from their unit.
