The Trust Fund service of ConnectNetwork is the kind of service that allows everyone to deposit money directly into the commissary account of the inmate. If you are the one that deposits the money, your inmate will be able to use those funds after you deposit it. It works similarly to cash. The money that they receive can be used to make different kinds of purchases at the commissary of their facility. If you are wondering about the items that they can purchase, they vary depending on the facility location.
The Trust Fund service is such a good thing for both the inmates and their family members and friends. Thanks to this service, the family members or friends of the inmates can help their loved one to stay connected to the outside world and to adjust to life that they have to face at their facility.

If you are a family member or a friend of an incarcerated individual, you can send money to your loved one at a few places, such as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Arizona Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections, Colorado Department of Corrections, and so on.
In order to get started, here is step by step to follow:
-
- The first thing that you need to do is to check Trust Fund service available at a facility.
- If the Trust Fund service is available at the facility where your loved one is located, you can make a deposit by signing in or creating an account.
- Once you have successfully created a ConnectNetwork account, the next thing that you need to do is to choose a facility and inmate to add to your account.
- In the end, you can deposit money into their Trust Fund (commissary) account whenever you want. The deposit amounts may vary. However, the most common ones are between $10 and $100.
- After you make a deposit to the Trust Fund account of your loved one, all the funds will show up on their account quickly.
Before depositing money into the Trust Fund account of your loved one, you should know that it is final. It means there is no way for you to get refunds. That’s why you should make sure that the amount of money that you enter is correct.
