Putting Money on an Account for Someone at Howard R. Young: Your Three Approved Options

Delaware DOC approves three ways to put money on an account for someone at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution (HRYCI): use the kiosk at the gatehouse/main entrance, deposit online through ViaPath/GTL, or mail a money order to ViaPath/GTL with the required form. The key detail? Don't mail payment to HRYCI itself. Online deposits through ViaPath/GTL are usually the fastest and easiest. If you're already heading to the facility, the gatehouse kiosk works well too. Prefer a money order? That's still an option - just send it to ViaPath/GTL with the required form, not to the facility.

Planning to bring a money order when you visit? HRYCI won't accept it in person during visitation. You'll need to use one of the approved deposit methods instead.

Personal checks aren't accepted for HRYCI accounts. Your options are the gatehouse kiosk, an online deposit through ViaPath/GTL, or mailing a money order to ViaPath/GTL with the required form.

The kiosks at the gatehouse/main entrance let you deposit money in person. This works well if you're already at HRYCI. Have the person's identifying information ready, and double-check you've selected the right individual before finalizing the transaction.

For online deposits, go through ViaPath/GTL. Follow their deposit instructions carefully - double-check the person's name and ID details before submitting. A small typo can send money to the wrong account, and fixing it takes time. This is usually the most convenient option if you need funds on the account quickly or can't get to the facility.

Thinking about mailing money because it seems simpler? Make sure you're using the right route. For HRYCI, don't mail money orders to the facility, and don't send them through Pigeonly. Stick to the gatehouse kiosk or online deposits through ViaPath/GTL. Want to use a money order specifically? You can - but mail it directly to ViaPath/GTL with the required form, not to HRYCI.

When mailing a money order for someone at HRYCI, send it to ViaPath/GTL with the required form so it gets credited correctly. Mailing it to the facility instead is one of the fastest ways to get your payment rejected or delayed.
