Sending Money to Someone at Robinson: JPay Mail-In Instructions
Sending a money order to someone at Robinson Correctional Center? The key is filling out the JPay lockbox deposit slip correctly and mailing everything to the right address.
How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Robinson Correctional Center uses ICSolutions for prepaid phone funding. To add money for calls, create an ICSolutions prepaid account through the ICSolutions facility page. This replaced prior phone-vendor workflows for affected IDOC facilities. If your loved one previously used Securus Advance Connect, plan for the transition: existing Securus balances won't automatically transfer to ICSolutions, so you may need to re-fund through ICSolutions. Including identifying details like a GTL Visitor ID when you register can help approval move faster. For any deposit, double-check the incarcerated person's full name and booking/ID number (or date of birth) so funds post to the right account. Posting times vary by method—electronic deposits typically post faster than mailed ones, and transfers or outstanding obligations can affect availability.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
