Sending money in CT

[MrsSmith74]

Is there any other ways to send money to inmates besides JPay, WesternUnion, and going directly to the prison? Jpay isn’t an option, WesternUnion is a hassle because for Connecticut DOC you’re only allowed to pay in store; you can’t use a card on the website, and the prison isn’t exactly right around the corner from me. Just wondering if anyone knows of any other websites or something convenient and simple that I can do over the phone with a card
