Sending Money to an Inmate at Ridgeland: Money Orders, Online Deposits, and Processing Times

Need the money there fast? Go with ConnectNetwork. You can deposit through their website, mobile app, toll-free phone line, or a kiosk - and funds are transmitted to the facility within one business day.

Money orders work too, especially if you prefer paying by mail. GTL processes mailed deposits the next business day after they arrive - but factor in postal delivery time. To avoid delays, include the completed SCDC deposit form and keep the envelope simple: just the form and the money order. No cash, letters, photos, staples, or paper clips.

Make the money order payable to

Each money order must be $300.00 or less, issued in US Dollars. Include a deposit form in the envelope - but don't tape, staple, or paper clip it to the money order.

Mail everything to: GTL Financial Services, 10005 Technology Blvd West Suite 130, Dallas, TX 75220. Send only the form and money order - nothing else.

ConnectNetwork deposits are the fastest option. Funds transmit to the facility within one business day - that's the main advantage if timing matters.

Mailed money orders are processed the next business day after GTL receives them. That doesn't include postal delivery time, so plan for both: mail transit plus GTL's processing.
