How to Send Money to an Inmate at Avon Park Prison by Mail (JPay Money Orders)
Mailing a JPay money order is one of the simplest ways to get funds to someone at Avon Park Prison—but only if you get the payee line, deposit slip, and mailing address exactly right.
Make the money order payable to JPay. Fill out the deposit slip carefully - print neatly (or type if you can) to avoid delays. If you want to include the incarcerated person's name and ID on the money order, write it on the
- ✓ Make the money order payable to JPay
- ✓ Complete every field on the deposit slip so it’s legible
- ✓ Keep the amount at or under $999.99
Here's a heads-up: JPay documents show two different PO Box addresses for mailing money orders. One version lists JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026. Another (on a coupon) shows JPay, PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026. Before you seal that envelope, check which address matches the form or coupon you're actually using.
Note: The wrong PO Box can slow things down. Double-check the current JPay/FDC instructions printed on your specific deposit slip or coupon.
Include a copy of your photo ID with the money order. Accepted IDs are a driver's license, state identification card, or passport. Missing the ID copy? Your deposit can stall even if everything else is filled out correctly.
Before mailing anything, confirm you're on the incarcerated person's Approved Visitors List. JPay's money-order instructions for Florida state prisons tie mail-in deposits to that approval - worth checking before you spend the time and postage.
Once JPay receives and approves your money order, expect processing within ten business days. That clock starts when JPay has it in hand, not when you drop it in the mailbox.
JPay does not charge a fee to send money by money order, cashier’s check, or certified bank draft. What you pay is the cost of the money order itself (from the place you purchase it) and your postage.
You might also see Florida Department of Corrections guidance directing funds to the appropriate Service Center using US Postal money orders, cashier's checks, or certified bank drafts. If you're seeing conflicting instructions across different documents, follow the most current direction on your deposit form for the method you're using.
