How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money for someone at Bautista Fire Camp through several options: online or mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or U.S. mail money orders. For scheduling-related services, new users should claim an account on the GTL scheduling portal first. You don't need an online account to receive free telephone calls, but you will need one for videoconferencing and electronic messaging when those services are available. Want prepaid video visits? Add funds using AdvanceConnect in the Securus app so the incarcerated person can accept video calls. Before depositing, confirm the person's full name and booking/ID. Don't mail cash, and plan for vendor fees and transfer times.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
