How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To send money to someone at Livesay Corrections Facility, use ConnectNetwork (GTL), which handles AdvancePay, trust-account deposits, and electronic messaging for SCDC friends and family. You can deposit online, by phone, at lobby kiosks, through walk-in retail or money-transfer services, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check following the provider's required account format. Online, phone, and kiosk deposits typically post quickly. Mailed deposits take longer because processing doesn't start until the payment arrives. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready when making an online or kiosk deposit to avoid delays. If you receive correctional collect calls, the phone vendor may impose a courtesy credit limit (1-866-230-7761) and offers a PrePay program if needed (1-800-483-8314).
