How to Send Money to Someone at Larned: Trust Account vs. Tablet Account

At Larned, money can go to two separate accounts - and the difference matters. If you're trying to add funds to a resident's KDOC trust account, ViaPath won't work. You'll need to use Access Corrections instead.

Tablet money works differently. To fund a resident's tablet account for messaging and media, you'll set up a ViaPath (GettingOut) account. The minimum deposit is $10.00. Once the funds are loaded, they can be used for messages, photos, and 30‑second video messages.

The KDOC trust account is the "main" account - money meant to go through the facility's trust system. Since ViaPath doesn't handle trust deposits, families use Access Corrections for this. Access Corrections also lets you handle other payments online: court-ordered financial obligations, bail, and parole or probation payments when applicable.

A ViaPath tablet account covers tablet-based services. Here's how costs break down: messages are $0.25 each, electronic photos are $0.25 per photo, and 30‑second video attachments cost $1.75 per video. Printing has separate charges - $0.35 per page for print emails, $1.00 per page for printed attachments or photos. Entertainment content runs $0.04/minute for standard and $0.06/minute for premium.

1. Create a ViaPath (GettingOut) account - this is the account you’ll use to fund the resident’s tablet services.
2. Add funds (at least $10.00) - the $10.00 minimum deposit is required to enable messaging and media like photos and 30‑second video messages.
3. Know the fee policy - ViaPath does not charge a fee to add funds to the tablet account.

Need to add money to a resident's KDOC trust account? Skip ViaPath - it won't work for trust deposits. Go directly to Access Corrections. You can also use Access Corrections for related payments: court-ordered financial obligations, bail, and parole or probation payments.

Practical Checklist

• ✓ Confirm which account the resident needs funded: KDOC trust account (Access Corrections) or tablet account (ViaPath/GettingOut)
• ✓ If it’s trust money, don’t use ViaPath - trust deposits must go through Access Corrections
• ✓ If it’s tablet money, use ViaPath/GettingOut and deposit at least $10.00 to enable messaging and media
• ✓ Remember: ViaPath does not charge a fee to add funds to the tablet account
• ✓ Save your confirmation/receipt details so you can reference the transaction if there’s a problem
