How to Send Money to Hutchinson Correctional Facility (KS)

Hutchinson Correctional Facility has two separate systems for money, and mixing them up is one of the easiest mistakes to make. Tablet messages, photos, and 30-second video messages all run through a ViaPath (GettingOut) account. You'll need to create an account and fund it first. The minimum deposit is $10. Want to add money to a resident's internal trust account (the funds they use for commissary and other day-to-day needs inside)? That's a different system entirely. Electronic trust deposits go through Access Corrections, not ViaPath.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Set up a ViaPath (GettingOut) account if your goal is to send electronic messages, photos, or a 30-second video message.
• ✓ Deposit at least $10 into your ViaPath account before trying to send anything through the tablet system.
• ✓ Use Access Corrections for electronic deposits to a resident’s internal trust account (you cannot do trust deposits through ViaPath).

Before sending money, make sure you know which account your loved one actually needs funded. ViaPath/GettingOut handles tablet messaging and media. Access Corrections handles trust account deposits. If you're unsure, call Hutchinson Correctional Facility to confirm. You can also verify whether the $10 minimum for ViaPath accounts still applies. For trust deposits, check what information Access Corrections requires to process the deposit (like specific resident identifiers). If timing matters, ask about any holds or processing delays that could affect when the funds become available.
