Rhode Island prison money & phone fees, compared
What it costs to send money and take calls from RIDOC, using only fees RIDOC publishes, each with its source and date. Where a fee isn't published, we say so; we never guess.
Sending money
Options RIDOC names: Access Corrections (approved provider) (opens in new tab)
Official fees and rates
- Deposit through Access Corrections: online (from $2.95), by phone at 1-866-345-1884 (from $3.95), in its app, at CashPayToday cash locations, or at the Travisono lobby kiosk. JPay is no longer accepted.

Ways to keep costs down
- If RIDOC 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.
