How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Haynesville Corr. Center? Skip the front desk. Virginia guidance says facility staff must not accept cash for deposit into an inmate's trust account, so don't try handing cash to staff. For cash deposits, use authorized MoneyGram agent locations (including Walmart and CVS Pharmacy). Phone and prepaid calling accounts are handled separately through ConnectNetwork, where you can set up an account and add funds. Don't mail cash, checks, or other monetary items. Mailed funds can be rejected. If you're sending a money order, follow the vendor's lockbox instructions. Before you pay, confirm the inmate's full name and ID number, then choose the right channel since fees and processing times vary.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
