How to Send Money to Western Illinois Correctional Center (IL)

To put money on someone's commissary account at Western Illinois Correctional Center, you'll go through ViaPath/ConnectNetwork. You can deposit funds on the ConnectNetwork website, through their mobile app, or by calling their toll-free phone line.

If you use one of the automated ConnectNetwork options (website, app, or toll-free phone), your deposit is transmitted to the facility within one business day. Mailed deposits sent to ViaPath are generally processed the next business day after they receive it. Specific fees, daily cutoff times, and exactly when funds show up in the account aren't detailed in the available information. Plan for some variation, and verify the specifics before sending money.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use ViaPath/ConnectNetwork to make a commissary deposit (ConnectNetwork website, mobile app, or toll-free phone).
• ✓ For automated deposits, expect the payment to be transmitted to the facility within one business day.
• ✓ If you mail a deposit to ViaPath, expect it to generally be processed the next business day after ViaPath receives it.

Keep in mind that "one business day" can still mean real-world delays depending on when you submit your payment and how the cutoff is counted. If the deposit is time-sensitive, confirm cutoff times and processing expectations directly with ViaPath/ConnectNetwork or the facility before you send anything.

• ✓ What payment types are accepted for your deposit method (debit/credit card types, money order options for mail-in deposits).
• ✓ Any fees charged by ViaPath/ConnectNetwork for online, app, phone, or mailed deposits.
• ✓ Whether Western Illinois Correctional Center has any additional rules that affect availability or posting of funds.
• ✓ What information you must include so the money goes to the right person (exact name format, ID number requirements).
