How to Send Money to Hartford Corrections Center, CT (CT)

If you're sending money by mail (such as a money order), build in extra time. Connecticut DOC guidance says to allow at least 10 working days for mailed money orders to post to an inmate's account. So don't panic if your loved one doesn't see the funds right away.

Want to help with clothing? Don't try mailing or dropping off a clothing package. Family and friends are not allowed to send in or drop off clothing packages for offenders. The facility provides clothing, and additional items can be purchased through commissary. Sending funds is usually the most practical way to help with basics.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Mail money orders early so you can allow at least 10 working days for the funds to post to the inmate’s account.

• ✓ Do not send or try to drop off clothing packages. Plan on commissary purchases for any extra clothing items instead.

Before mailing anything, verify the current mailing address and which payment types are accepted for inmate funds. Policies and processing details can change. The one timing benchmark to count on: at least 10 working days for mailed money orders to post.

You should also confirm how commissary works at Hartford Corrections Center right now. Check what items are available, whether there are spending limits, and if any exceptions exist to the no-clothing-package rule. The standing policy is that family and friends cannot send or drop off clothing packages, so commissary is the usual route for extras.
