How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Halawa Correctional Facility began accepting electronic deposits to inmate trust accounts through GTL/ViaPath ConnectNetwork on October 18, 2022. Only approved visitors can make these deposits—you'll need to be on the approved visitor list before sending money. Set up a ConnectNetwork account online or by calling 1-877-650-4249, then add the inmate to start a deposit. Electronic deposits are capped at $300 per inmate per month. Processor fees may apply, and court-ordered restitution or fines can reduce the amount that reaches the inmate. Deposits typically reach Halawa within 1–2 business days. ConnectNetwork disclosed a data breach in August 2020, so protect your login credentials and follow their security guidance.
