Pendleton Correctional Facility, In

Pendleton Correctional Facility handles visitation registration through the GTL/ViaPath system. You'll need a valid email address because the portal sends your initial password and visitation notifications there. Registration follows a set workflow: Log On Information, Personal Information, Personal Identification, a Professional visitor request option (if needed), Search for Inmate, and Confirmation. Before you can schedule, visitors typically must be approved first. In most Indiana facilities, that means completing the state visitation application, passing background and warrant checks, and being added to the inmate's approved visitor list. Visits may be in-person or by video, so follow the portal and facility instructions closely. For video visits, sign in early and test your camera, audio, and connection before the visit starts.

Pendleton Correctional Facility uses ViaPath/ConnectNetwork for prepaid calling through AdvancePay. You can open an AdvancePay account at ConnectNetwork.com or by calling 800-483-8314, then add funds online or by phone. AdvancePay is a prepaid-collect option: the incarcerated person can place calls only to the phone number tied to your prepaid account. Multiple AdvancePay accounts are supported, and international calling may be available where offered. Funds are deducted immediately when calls are accepted. Your ConnectNetwork account shows the facility-set rates and fees. Refunds may be available if the incarcerated person is released or you no longer need the account. Watch for inactivity. Accounts can become inactive and may be forfeited after 180 consecutive days, with a 30-day reminder before expiration.

Family and friends can deposit funds into an incarcerated person's Trust (commissary) account at Pendleton Correctional Facility through the ConnectNetwork Trust Fund service. Deposits can be made online or by phone 24/7. Automated deposits typically reach the facility within one business day, while deposits sent by mail are processed the next business day after receipt. If you use the phone option, you may be asked for Pendleton's Site ID during the process. Fees vary by facility, so check your ConnectNetwork account for the current cost before submitting payment. All Trust Fund deposits to Pendleton are final and non-refundable. Double-check the recipient details first.
