How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Greensville Corrections Center goes through approved vendors. For electronic deposits to an inmate PIN Debit account, use ConnectNetwork and have the inmate's 7-digit state ID ready so funds credit the right account. The facility directs families to use vendor channels (for example, JPay) rather than mailing cash, personal checks, or regular money orders. Adding phone funds or setting up an AdvancePay calling plan is managed through ConnectNetwork/GTL, and vendor support is available at 1-800-483-8314. Fees, posting times, and available methods depend on the vendor and account type. Follow the portal instructions, save your receipt, and reach out to the vendor or the facility finance/commissary office if a deposit doesn't show up.
