How to Send Money to Someone at Tallahatchie County Corrections Facility: All the ConnectNetwork Options

ConnectNetwork gives you multiple ways to send funds. Pick what works for your situation: online or mobile app payments (Visa or MasterCard, available 24/7), an automated phone system, or self-service kiosks in some visitation areas and government locations. Prefer cash? Start a Walk-In Retail transaction online and finish it at thousands of participating stores, or use Western Union Quick Collect for select payments. There's also a mail option if you'd rather skip the card. One thing to know: not every deposit posts the same way. Some automated deposits are available immediately, while Trust Fund deposits are transmitted within one business day and still depend on facility policy.

The simplest route for most people is paying through the ConnectNetwork website or mobile apps. These accept Visa and MasterCard, and you can make a deposit any time - 24/7, year-round - without matching store hours or waiting on the mail.

How quickly funds become available depends on the account type. Deposits made through the website or app for PIN Debit, AdvancePay, and DebitLink are available immediately. Trust Fund deposits work differently - they're transmitted to the facility within one business day, but when the funds actually become available depends on facility policy.

Prefer to handle it by phone? ConnectNetwork's automated system walks you through the transaction step by step. Like other automated channels, PIN Debit/AdvancePay/DebitLink deposits are available immediately, while Trust Fund deposits are transmitted within one business day (availability still depends on facility policy). When making a Trust Fund or PIN Debit deposit by phone, you may need the facility's Site ID - you can find it on the facility's ConnectNetwork page.

Kiosks work well if you prefer paying in person. You'll find ConnectNetwork kiosks in some facility visitation areas and government offices, and they accept cash, credit, or debit. PIN Debit/AdvancePay/DebitLink deposits made at kiosks are available immediately. Trust Fund deposits are transmitted within one business day, with final availability depending on facility policy.

1. Sign in to your ConnectNetwork account - Start the payment process online.
2. Choose “Walk-In Retail (pay by cash)” - Select your deposit type, then pick Walk-In Retail as your form of payment.
3. Get your Pay Slip - ConnectNetwork will send it to you by email or SMS text message.
4. Go to a participating store with cash - Bring the Pay Slip and your cash to a participating retail location (including places like Walmart, ACE, Kmart, and Kroger) and tell the cashier you want to make a payment.

Another cash option: select ConnectNetwork payments can be made through Western Union using Quick Collect. Give the store clerk your account number, pay cash, and keep your receipt. Plan for a little extra time with this method - deposits made at retail locations (and by mail) are generally processed the next business day after they're received.

Mail is the slow-and-steady option. Mailed deposits are generally processed the next business day after they're received, so skip this if your loved one needs funds quickly. Before sending anything, double-check the correct mailing instructions and address on the facility's ConnectNetwork page - details vary by location.
