How to send messages, photos, and packages
Stafford Creek Correctional Center uses vendor services for communication, including video visiting through a third-party provider. All video sessions are recorded and monitored. When setting up a Securus account for video visits, enter your first name, last name, and date of birth exactly as they appear on your legal ID—don't include middle names or initials. Contact Securus customer assistance if you need to fix mistakes. Phone calls placed by incarcerated individuals are monitored and recorded, though recognized bar association numbers may be used for unmonitored legal calls. You don't need a special application or verification process to receive calls, but family emergencies must go through the facility's emergency messages process. To close a ConnectNetwork account, call (800) 483–8314.

Waiting for visit approval can feel like the hardest part — especially when you're juggling time off and travel plans. Here's what Washington DOC actually publishes about processing times, why it sometimes takes longer, and what to do if your application seems stuck.
Trying to put money on someone's account at Stafford Creek? Washington DOC offers three official options: Securus Debit, Western Union, or a cashier's check/money order. Which one works best depends on how quickly you need the deposit to post, what fees you're willing to pay, and how much paperwork you want to deal with.
