Taylor Correctional Inst., FL

Visiting at Taylor Corrections Inst. starts with an application. Anyone age 12 or older must complete a visitation application form before showing up. You can submit the completed form by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution where the visit is requested. Don't plan a trip until the inmate has added you to their approved visitor list and you've been notified that your application is approved. If vending is available during visits, you may bring up to $50 cash per visitor. Only $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills are allowed, and that cash is strictly for vending. It must not be given to an inmate. For details on scheduling, dress code, searches, and whether video visitation is offered, check the published visitation rules or visitor handbook.

Florida correctional facilities typically offer a few ways to communicate: vendor e-messaging, telephone calls, and remote video visits. The exact options vary by facility. If electronic messaging is available, you'll usually need to buy message credits or "stamps," and staff screen messages before delivery. Phone service is commonly handled through a vendor platform and is outgoing-only, meaning you'll need to set up and fund a prepaid account (such as AdvancePay through ConnectNetwork) to receive calls. If you use ConnectNetwork, activate your account using the emailed link before trying to use any funded balance. For money transfers through vendors like JPay, follow the vendor instructions exactly, including how to fill out and include the deposit slip.

Deposit options can include online payment portals, lobby kiosks, phone deposits, and mailing a money order or check. The available methods and fees depend on the vendor and what the facility accepts. Two common vendor options are AdvancePay (a ConnectNetwork prepaid calling account) and JPay for money orders and deposits. If you mail a payment to JPay, make the money order payable to JPay and send it along with the deposit slip to PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026. For AdvancePay check or money-order payments, include the 10-digit telephone number for the AdvancePay account. Payments without it may not post. Mailed payments can take 7–10 business days to process.
