How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can send money to an Avon Park Prison inmate by mailing a money order through JPay—but check the address first. Official forms list two different PO Boxes: PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026 and PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026. You don't need a JPay account; just mail a cashier's check or money order without creating a login. Many families also add funds online, at a lobby kiosk, or by phone, depending on the vendor—methods, rules, and fees vary. Write the inmate's name and ID clearly, follow the vendor's instructions, and keep a copy with any tracking details.

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.
Helping someone at Avon Park Prison with funds or phone calls means navigating two separate systems: JPay for money orders and AdvancePay/ConnectNetwork for phone funding. Here's how to handle both—and avoid address mix-ups and surprise fees.
Facility/JPay forms show two different mail-in addresses for JPay money order deposits: JPay PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026, and JPay PO Box 260130, Hollywood, FL 33026. Because the documents conflict, confirm the correct mailing address with JPay or the facility before you mail a money order.
No. A JPay account is not required to send a money order to Avon Park Prison. You can mail a cashier’s check or money order using the inmate’s name and ID without creating a JPay login.
Depending on the vendor and facility, families commonly add funds online through a payment portal, at a lobby kiosk, or by phone. Methods, rules, and fees vary, so check the vendor instructions and the facility page before sending money.
