Everglades C.I., FL

Everglades Re-Entry requires a completed visitor application before any visits are allowed. Don't travel to the facility until the inmate notifies you that your application has been approved. Submit your completed form by email (VisitappEvergladesCI@fdc.myflorida.com) or by U.S. Mail. Anyone 12 or older must complete and sign the form, or it won't be processed. Only one application per person is permitted, and leaving blanks can cause a denial, so write "NA" for anything that doesn't apply. Be accurate. Providing false information can lead to denial and may be a criminal offense. Criminal background checks are part of the process.

Everglades Re-Entry uses GTL/ConnectNetwork for phone service. GTL provides one free call per week during the contract term (up to 5 minutes per person, per week). All other calls cost a flat $0.135 per minute to any number in the North American Dialing Plan. Each call can last up to 30 minutes, and once it ends, there's a 30-minute wait before another call can start. To receive calls, you'll need to set up and fund an AdvancePay prepaid account through GTL's ConnectNetwork so the person inside can dial your number. If you run into account or calling issues, GTL offers 24/7 live support at 866-732-9098.

To send money to someone at Everglades Re-Entry, you'll use JPay mailed money orders. Mail yours to PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026, and follow the vendor instructions exactly so it can be processed. Don't include any letters or notes with your payment. They'll be discarded. Cash and business/employer checks are not accepted either. Once JPay receives an approved money order, it processes within ten business days. Some deposit types can be affected by weekends and holidays. Court-ordered payments go to a separate address: FL Court Ordered Payment, PO Box 25009, Bradenton, FL 34206-5009, with different limits and rules.
