Maine prison money & phone fees, compared
What it costs to send money and take calls from Maine DOC, using only fees Maine DOC publishes, each with its source and date. Where a fee isn't published, we say so; we never guess.
Sending money
Official fees and rates
- Limits: $100 a day per account and $200 a week per account. Deposits are non-refundable and take about 3 business days. Never mail cash.
Other official notes
- Use Maine's official Money Deposit Service (run with InforME) with a Visa or Mastercard. It can fund the general (trust) account and the phone account.

Official fees and rates
Not published on the official Maine DOC page we read. Vendors show their fee before you pay; check it there.
Other official notes
- Maine's official deposit service lets you add money to a resident's phone account. Ask the facility which calling options apply.
- We couldn't confirm the current phone vendor on a current official MDOC page, so we don't name one here.

Ways to keep costs down
- If Maine DOC lists a free option (often a mailed money order), it says so above.
- Fees often step up with the amount; a vendor's checkout screen shows the exact fee before you pay.
- Compare states: all states side by side.
