How to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Monmouth County Correctional Institution
Getting money onto someone's account at Monmouth County Correctional Institution comes down to a few specific options. Here's what the facility accepts—plus some vendor-related issues worth knowing about.
Dropping off funds in person? Bring a money order or certified check made out to the inmate during regular visiting hours. Need to deposit outside those hours? Booking accepts money orders and certified checks at other times too. Cash and personal checks aren't accepted - stick to those two options.
Note: For in-person deposits, only money orders or certified checks are accepted - no cash, no personal checks.
Prefer to skip the trip? You can deposit funds online by credit card through ConnectNetwork.com (AdvancePay). That's the facility's main option for remote payments.
- ✓ Watch your activity: ConnectNetwork/AdvancePay accounts become inactive and may be subject to forfeiture after 180 consecutive days of inactivity (unless a different timeline applies under governing law or contract).
- ✓ Use resets the clock: if you use the account at any point during that inactivity period, the inactivity period is reset.
- ✓ Need a refund? Call ConnectNetwork customer service at 877-650-4249 to request one for an inactive AdvancePay account.
Security note: ConnectNetwork's Telmate platform had a data breach in August 2020. Personal information for thousands of users was exposed - names, IDs (driver's licenses, passports), Social Security numbers, payment card details, personal messages, and grievance forms.
Treat your vendor account like any financial account. Double-check you're on the official ConnectNetwork site before logging in. Be careful about what sensitive information you share during sign-up or with customer service - especially given Telmate/ConnectNetwork's history with exposed user data.
Verify Locally
- ✓ Whether there are transaction fees for online deposits, and how much they are
- ✓ Any daily/weekly deposit limits (and whether limits differ by payment method)
- ✓ Whether there are on-site kiosks available (and where they’re located)
- ✓ How long deposits typically take to post to the inmate’s account
- ✓ Any special requirements for money orders/certified checks (payee formatting, memo line details, etc.)
