How to Send Money to Gaston Correctional Center, NC (NC)

Before sending money to someone at Gaston Correctional Center, confirm you're on their approved visitor list. NCDAC only allows trust account deposits from approved visitors.

This matters because the vendor will reject deposits from anyone not on the approved list. Check your status first so your payment doesn't bounce back.

Gaston Correctional Center uses ViaPath and ConnectNetwork for electronic deposits. You can send money online, through the mobile app, by phone, or at a walk-in location.

Prefer to send a money order? Mail it to TouchPay with the required deposit slip. The prison doesn't accept or process money orders directly.

1. Confirm you are an approved visitor. Only approved visitors are allowed to deposit funds into an offender’s trust account.
2. Choose an electronic deposit method through ViaPath/ConnectNetwork. You can use web, mobile, phone, or a walk-in option.
3. Mail a money order only if you can include the deposit slip and send it to TouchPay. Do not mail money orders to the prison, because the facility does not accept or process them.

Using ConnectNetwork (ViaPath) through web, mobile, phone, or walk-in? Deposits typically hit the account the next business day. Keep in mind that weekends and holidays don't count as business days, so plan ahead if timing matters.
