TERRY E. BRANSTAD, GOVERNOR KIM REYNOLDS, LT. GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS JOHN BALDWIN, DIRECTOR OFFENDER BANKING POLICY Effective August 1, 2007, the Iowa Department of Corrections has centralized offender banking operations. All incoming money for offender spending/commissary accounts will be received and handled by a central location, the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility (FDCF). At that time, incoming monies for offenders will not be accepted at or by any other location. The Iowa State Penitentiary will handle all restitution, court filing fees and child support. INCOMING MONEY: Effective August 1, 2007 all incoming money must be sent to the following address: IDOC Offender Fiduciary Account 1550 L Street, Suite B Fort Dodge, IA 50501 All deposits must be in the form of a cashier’s check or money order. All cashier’s checks and money orders must be made payable to: IDOC Offender Fiduciary Account. The cashier’s check or money order must include the following: offender name, offender number, sender’s name and sender’s complete address. All writing should be legible. If the deposit does not follow these guidelines it will be returned to the sender by mail. Money orders and cashier’s checks will no longer be accepted by drop off at any institution. The only option is to mail to the address listed above. Offenders will receive receipts of deposits consistent with current individual institution guidelines. Any questions from offenders regarding incoming money can be directed to the Business Office where the offender is located. This change in process will mean that the offender’s money will immediately be there when the offender transfers from one institution to another. The offender will no longer need to wait for a check to be sent to the facility that he/she left. RESTITUTION, COURT FILING FEES, AND CHILD SUPPORT: The Iowa State Penitentiary (ISP) is responsible for entering and maintaining plan information related to restitution, court filing fees and child support. Offenders may still direct questions about these through their institutional Business Office. If you choose to direct your questions to ISP, please mail to the following address: Iowa State Penitentiary PO Box 316 Fort Madison, IA 52627-0316 This change in process will remove the transition in financial management of plans when an offender transfers. The mission of the Iowa Department of Corrections is: To advance successful offender reentry to protect the public, staff and offenders from victimization.
