Sending Money

How to Send Money to Facility

Sending money is straightforward once you know which deposit method this facility accepts. Start by setting up accounts with the same systems used for scheduling visits and managing communications, then confirm the correct option for money deposits before paying any fees.

How to Send Money to Facility

This facility uses two account systems, depending on what you need to do. For scheduling visitation, create an account on the GTL VisitMe site and claim your account as a new user. For CDCR communications services, open a Securus account through the Securus website or mobile app. These are the only documented account setups in the available information. Treat them as preparation steps, not confirmation of how money deposits work.

Note: The available information does not list approved ways to send money (deposit vendor, online portal, kiosk access, money order rules, fees, limits, or processing times). Verify the facility's current deposit instructions before sending funds.

Steps-to-follow

  • Create your GTL VisitMe account if you need to schedule visitation at this facility.
  • Open a Securus account on the Securus website or in the Securus mobile app so you are ready for communications services tied to CDCR inmates.

Warning: Do not guess on the deposit method. Using the wrong platform can mean delays, fees, or rejected payments.

How to Send Money to Facility

Before sending money, confirm whether the systems used for visits and communications also handle trust deposits. GTL VisitMe is documented for visitation scheduling, and Securus handles communications services through its website or mobile app. Neither detail confirms how money deposits work at this facility. When you contact the facility, ask for the exact deposit method and the rules that apply. Specifically, verify which vendor or platform you must use, any fees, minimums or maximums, how long deposits take to post, and whether the incarcerated person's name and identification number need to be formatted a specific way.

  1. Check the facility’s official pages for deposit instructions. Look for sections labeled inmate funds, trust account, deposits, or similar.
  2. Call the facility to confirm the current process. Ask what deposit methods are accepted right now and what information you must include so funds are credited correctly.
  3. Use GTL VisitMe and Securus only for what they are documented to handle. VisitMe is for scheduling visitation, and Securus is for communications setup, unless the facility explicitly tells you otherwise for money deposits.
