​There have been questions about how to get on the GTL Getting Out app to message Lyle directly. While sending messages through his email address is okay when the messaging app isn't working, or you prefer the familiarity of email over dealing with a prison messaging app, setting up a GTL Getting Out account is easy. Just follow these steps:
 

1. Go to any app store such as Google Play or the Apple store and down load: GettingOut Visits

2. Set up an account by providing your personal information, an email address, and create a password.

3. Log into your GettingOut account. 

4. After creating an account and logging in you will have to put funds on your account to send a message or pictures. Click on "deposit"

5. Scroll down past "contacts" and click on "Make a Deposit"

6. Choose a state - North Carolina - and facility - Central Prison

7. Two options appear: 
    A) Inmate Account ←this puts $ on my account        
    B) Friends + Family ← this puts $ on your account

8. It's self explanatory from here. Select amount and put in you credit card information.

9. If for some reason you are having trouble or get locked out of your account, create a new one by first deleting the app. You may have to use another email account and name. As long as you provide a name and email account and other information requested by the app it should work. If you are still having trouble, send an email to the website requesting help.
