How to send messages, photos, and packages
To message someone at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, you'll use ViaPath (GettingOut). Create an account and fund it with at least $10 before you can send electronic messages or photos. Costs are charged per item: $0.25 per message, $0.25 per photo, and $1.75 for a 30-second video attachment. Frequent contact can add up. If you're trying to add money to a resident's trust or commissary account, don't use ViaPath. Electronic trust deposits are handled through Access Corrections. For phone calls, residents can only make outgoing calls (collect or pre-paid) using ICS Corrections, Inc. Except for attorney calls, phone calls may be monitored and recorded under KAR 44-2-102(c).
