Sending money: methods, limits, and what not to send

Delaware DOC offers three ways to add money to an offender's account: kiosks at the gatehouse or main entrance of each facility, online through ViaPath/GTL, or by mailing money orders directly to ViaPath/GTL using the required form. Do not mail money orders to the facility (or via Pigeonly) for offenders at Baylor Women's Correctional Institution (BWCI), Howard R. Young Correctional Institution (HRYCI), or James T. Vaughn Correctional Center (JTVCC). These facilities do not accept money orders in-person during visitation either. If you use money orders, follow the deposit slip rules closely. The maximum money order amount is $300.00, and money orders must be issued in US Dollars. Do not include staples, paper clips, stamps, cash, letters, photos, or other items with your deposit. Mail only the form and the money order. As of August 5, 2013, money orders are no longer accepted at the time of visit. One more thing: GettingOut states that Friends and Family accounts can become inactive and subject to forfeiture after 180 consecutive days of inactivity. Keep an eye on your balance and any reminders if you opt in.
