How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Columbia Correctional Institution uses JPay deposit forms for mailed funds. Here's the catch: two versions of the form list different Hollywood, FL addresses (PO Box 260130 and PO Box 260010). Use whichever address is printed on your specific deposit slip. Your money order must be payable to JPay, and you must be on the inmate's Approved Visitors List to send funds. Don't include letters or notes with the payment. Make sure the deposit form has a valid email and mailing address. JPay processes approved money orders within ten business days—no fee for money orders, cashier's checks, or certified bank drafts. Court-ordered payments are separate: mail those to FL Court Ordered Payment, PO Box 25009, Bradenton FL 34206-5009, following the per-payment maximums on that form.
