There is a difference in how you send money depending on whether your loved one is at the county jail or at the ADC.
If he/she is in the county jail, you simply mail a money order along with your letter, the jail will take out the money order and replace it with a receipt and then give the inmate his/her mail. I alway put a note in the letter that I enclosed a money order and note the amount as well, so he'll know I sent the money.
When/if he/she goes to ADC, any commissary money left on an inmate's books will be refunded to the inmate in the form of a check which he/she can take to ADC for his commissary books there.
Once the inmate goes to ADC, the way you send money changes. You can still only send money orders but you do not send them to the inmates facility and you can't send any correspondence to the inmate with the money order. Letters go to the facility, money orders go to pine bluff and MUST be accompanied by a deposit slip.
I have blank copies of deposit slips if you need one (but your loved one get one for you once he gets to diagnostics) . Here is the official in formation
ADC
Arkansas Department of Corrections
