The Fastest Way to Send Money to Someone at Deerfield (And Why Not to Mail Cash)

Skip the mailbox for cash, checks, or anything else that looks like money. Deerfield Correctional won't accept it. What should be a quick deposit turns into delays and headaches you don't need.

Sending a money order? Mail it to JPay's lockbox - not Deerfield: JPay, P.O. Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027. Include a deposit slip. That slip is how JPay knows where to send the funds.

Want the fastest option? Pay online through JPay with a credit or debit card. It's the most direct way to get funds posted quickly.

The JPay mobile app works too. Handy when you're not near a computer and want to handle everything from your phone.

Phone option: You can make a JPay payment over the phone by calling 1 (800) 574-5729.

Mailing a money order to the JPay lockbox (JPay, P.O. Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027) with a deposit slip? It won't post instantly. Once JPay receives it, expect the funds to show up in the inmate's account within three business days.

JPay charges fees. The amount depends on how much you're sending and which method you use - online, phone, or otherwise. Check the fee breakdown in JPay before you hit submit.

How to Apply for Visitation at Deerfield Correctional: What You Need and How Long It Takes

This guide is for you if you're applying to visit someone at Deerfield Correctional through the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) online system. Bringing a minor? They'll need to be included on an adult's application, so this covers that too. If your loved one is in a local or regional jail rather than a VADOC facility, that facility will have its own separate process.

What Happens to Your Letters and Photos After They're Mailed to Deerfield Correctional

When you mail a letter or photos to someone at Deerfield Correctional, they won't receive your original pages or envelope. VADOC photocopies all incoming general correspondence and delivers only the copies to inmates. Mail can be opened, searched, and read by staff during processing. That's standard for facility mailrooms - so avoid sending anything you'd be uncomfortable having reviewed. What your loved one actually receives is a black-and-white copy of what you sent, not the original.
