How to Send Money to Colorado State Penitentiary (CO)
Money you send to someone at Colorado State Penitentiary goes into their Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) inmate account. They typically use it for canteen purchases.
Money you send to someone incarcerated at Colorado State Penitentiary is deposited into their CDOC inmate account. They can use that balance to buy canteen items like phone time, stamps and writing materials, food, clothing, and hygiene items.
CDOC uses TouchPay Holdings, LLC (doing business as GTL) to handle deposits. You'll make your deposit through their website, often called ConnectNetwork, TouchPay, or GTL.
Note: The vendor and destination account are confirmed, but fees, accepted payment types, and processing times can change. Check the GTL/TouchPay (ConnectNetwork) deposit site or contact CDOC directly before submitting payment.
- Start with the CDOC deposit website run by TouchPay/GTL. Use the TouchPay Holdings, LLC d/b/a GTL (ConnectNetwork/TouchPay/GTL) deposit platform for CDOC trust or commissary deposits.
- Follow the prompts to make a deposit. The site will walk you through locating the right CDOC person and submitting the deposit to their inmate account.
- Enter the incarcerated person’s information carefully. Deposits go into that person’s CDOC inmate account, so accuracy matters.
- Know what the funds support. Once deposited, the balance can be used for canteen items such as phone time, stamps and writing materials, food, clothing, and hygiene items.
Reminder: Before submitting, review the deposit instructions on the GTL/TouchPay (ConnectNetwork) site for any fees, limits, or required identifiers not listed here.
