Sending Money to Someone at New Haven Correctional Center: Your Complete Guide
Sending money to someone at New Haven Correctional Center? The details matter—especially what you write on the payee line and the information you include with mailed payments. Here's how to get it right the first time.
No. You don't need to be on their approved visitor list to send money to their inmate account.
For questions about inmate accounts - like whether a payment was received or how an account is handled - contact the Inmate Trust Fund at 860-692-7670.
- Get a money order or certified/cashier’s check - these mailed payments are accepted for funding an inmate account.
- Address the envelope to the Inmate Trust Fund - mail it to: Inmate Trust Fund, P.O. Box 290800, Wethersfield, CT 06129-0800.
- Double-check the payee and included details before sealing - errors on the payee line or missing remitter information can slow things down.
Critical: All checks or money orders you mail for an inmate account must be made payable to the inmate.
Make the money order or certified/cashier's check payable to the inmate - not the facility or the Inmate Trust Fund. Double-check that your remitter information is complete and easy to read. This is what connects your payment to the right person. Once everything's filled out, place the payment and remitter info in an envelope and mail it to: Inmate Trust Fund, P.O. Box 290800, Wethersfield, CT 06129-0800.
Remitter Information Checklist
- ✓ Inmate first name, middle initial, and last name
- ✓ Inmate number
- ✓ Inmate date of birth
- ✓ Sender first and last name
- ✓ Sender full address (number, street, apartment/unit, city, state, ZIP code)
Common problem: Missing or hard-to-read remitter information can delay posting. Staff won't be able to match the funds to the correct account.
Common problem: Checks or money orders that aren't payable to the inmate won't be accepted for mailed funds.
Another common mistake: mailing payments to the wrong address. Money orders and certified/cashier's checks must go to the Inmate Trust Fund at P.O. Box 290800, Wethersfield, CT 06129-0800. Keep the envelope simple - just the payment and required information.
