To find a participating Offender Connect facility, families just need to first search the state where the inmate is located, and then select the facility they’re in. From there, families will see a list of all of the services that are available to the correction facilities in that county. Some prisons allow for Offender Connect video chat to be done from home, while some only allow it from certain centers located at the prison. Families and inmates will both need to set up an appointment time to use Offender Connect video chat. Direct deposit to an inmate’s account through Offender Connect is available 24 hours a day, and there are even mobile friendly payment options available. Funds will be made available instantly to the inmate in most cases, and can be used for anything the offender wants. Deposit amount do vary, but there is a minimum deposit of $10 and a maximum deposit of $1,000 available at once. Please note the Offender Connect can also be used to pay the visitor fees assessed at many prisons without the need to wait in line for a prison representative to complete the transaction.
