How to Send Money to Osborn Correctional Inst., CT (CT)

Start with the Connecticut Department of Correction (DOC) "Inmate Accounts" information on the DOC website. That's where the state lays out how inmate funds work across all DOC facilities, including accepted deposit methods and the information you'll need to provide. Before sending anything, look up the person on Connecticut's online inmate information/search site to confirm their current location and details. If you're not sure what Osborn specifically requires for deposits, the DOC Public Information Office can direct you to the correct, up-to-date instructions.

If you're also managing visits or phone contact, Connecticut DOC has separate "Visiting" and "Inmate Phone Information" pages on the DOC website. These aren't money instructions, but they can help you stay current on procedures that sometimes affect how and when families coordinate support.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Check Connecticut DOC’s “Inmate Accounts” information first so you follow the state’s approved deposit rules.
• ✓ Use Connecticut’s online inmate information/search site to confirm the person’s current facility location and the identifying details you’ll need.
• ✓ Contact the Connecticut DOC Public Information Office to confirm what identifiers are required and where funds should be sent for someone housed at Osborn.
• ✓ Save your confirmation number, receipt, or a copy of what you submitted in case there’s a posting delay or a question later.

What to Verify

• ✓ Which deposit methods are currently accepted under Connecticut DOC “Inmate Accounts” guidance.
• ✓ The exact inmate identifiers required to make sure money posts to the right person.
• ✓ Any deposit limits, processing timeframes, or holds that could affect when funds are available.
• ✓ The correct mailing details (if you are sending a payment by mail) and any formatting rules that must be followed.
• ✓ Any facility-specific restrictions or temporary changes that apply to someone housed at Osborn.

Reviewing Connecticut DOC's "Visiting" and "Inmate Phone Information" pages is worth your time, too. They won't replace the "Inmate Accounts" instructions, but they're official DOC pages that clarify related procedures for staying connected and coordinating support.
