How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to someone at Larned Correctional Facility means using the right account for the right purpose. Trust-account deposits and tablet-message funds are separate: electronic deposits to a resident's trust account can't go through ViaPath—use Access Corrections instead. For sending messages or photos through a resident's tablet, set up a ViaPath/GettingOut account (gettingout.com or the mobile app) and add funds there. ViaPath requires a $10 minimum deposit for messaging and photo features. Have the resident's account ID ready before you pay—this could be a CFN/register number or facility account number. You can't hand cash directly to staff. Use the approved kiosk, phone/online vendor, or mail option the facility requires, and confirm accepted payment methods first.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
