How to send money to someone at Southeastern Correctional: methods, verification, and limits

For Southeastern Correctional, money can only come from approved (or tentatively approved) visitors. That rule applies to every deposit method - money orders, online deposits, and phone deposits - so if you’re not on the visiting list yet, your funds won’t be accepted.

Being on the visitor list isn't enough - you also have to pass the system's security verification. Your identity needs to match exactly how you're listed as a visitor. This matters most when mailing a money order, where the sender name must match the visitor list precisely.

Each transaction has a $200 limit. If you need to send more, split it into separate deposits - just keep the monthly cap in mind.

There's also a monthly cap: $400 per calendar month per visitor. Planning multiple deposits? Space them out so you don't hit the limit and have a payment rejected.

Southeastern Correctional accepts deposits through ConnectNetwork (website or mobile app), a 24/7 automated phone system, walk-in cash payments at retail locations nationwide, and mail. Which option works best depends on whether you're paying by card, paying cash in person, or sending a money order.

1. Sign in (or create an account) - Use ConnectNetwork online or the ConnectNetwork mobile app.
2. Choose Walk-In Retail (pay by cash) - Select the deposit type, then pick “Walk-In Retail (pay by cash)” as your form of payment.
3. Enter the amount - Put in the deposit amount you want to send.
4. Get your Pay Slip - Provide your email address or mobile number so the Pay Slip can be sent by email or SMS.
5. Pay at a participating retailer - Take the Pay Slip and your cash to a participating retail location and tell the cashier you want to make a payment.

To deposit by phone, call 1-888-988-4768 with a credit or debit card ready. You'll need the incarcerated person's account number, their name, the facility name, your payment info, and Facility Site ID: 86. Having everything in front of you makes the call go faster.

You can send funds by mail using a money order, but the details matter. The sender name must exactly match your name on the visitor list, and each money order is limited to $200 unless the institution Warden approves a higher amount in advance.
