How to Send Money to Huron Valley Womens Corr. Facility, Mi (MI)

Sending money is one of the fastest ways to support someone at Huron Valley Women's Correctional Facility. But it only works if you use the approved system.

• 2 min read Based on general MI policies

Only send funds through GTL Financial Services. If someone asks you to use Cash App, Apple Pay, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or any other service outside GTL, that's a red flag. Those payments won't reach the prisoner's account and may be scams.

Plan around the deposit limit. Individual deposits to a prisoner’s account cannot be more than $300.00, so if you need to send more support, you will have to split it into separate deposits.

GTL (ViaPath) also handles phone and video services through MDOC. The ViaPath (GTL) per-minute rate is $0.0735 per minute (effective Oct 1, 2023), not including taxes and fees. Rates can change, so use that date as a reference point rather than a guarantee.

Steps-to-follow

  • ✓ Use only GTL Financial Services for deposits to someone at Huron Valley Women’s Correctional Facility.
  • ✓ Keep each individual deposit at $300.00 or less.
  • ✓ Save your confirmation/receipt after you submit the payment, so you can track it if there is an issue.

Before sending money, confirm the current approved payment options directly through the facility's guidance or GTL. The most important thing to know: peer-to-peer apps like Cash App, Apple Pay, Zelle, PayPal, and Venmo are not accepted for deposits here. Requests to use them may be scams. Double-check the current per-deposit limit (stated as $300.00) and any updates to GTL/ViaPath services, including phone pricing. The posted phone rate of $0.0735 per minute is dated effective Oct 1, 2023 and excludes taxes and fees, so verify what applies today.

Warning: If someone asks you to send money through Cash App, Apple Pay, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or anything other than GTL Financial Services, don't send it. It may be a scam and won't reach the prisoner's account.
