What to Bring to a Visit at BWCI — Allowed Items, Lobby Deposits, and Vending Cards
BWCI is strict about what you can carry inside. Show up with extra items and you'll be walking them back to your car—so pack light.
How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Baylor Women's Correctional Institution? Plan to do it electronically, not in person. The facility stopped accepting money orders at the time of visit back on August 5, 2013. Deposits to an inmate's trust account go through GettingOut, provided by TouchPay Holdings, LLC d/b/a GTL Financial Services (wholly owned by Global Tel*Link Corporation). Watch your GettingOut Friends & Family balance carefully: accounts become inactive and are subject to forfeiture after 180 consecutive days without activity. GettingOut offers refunds through customer service and can send opt-in reminders 30 days before account expiration to help you avoid losing funds.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
