How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
All deposits go through JPay. To mail payment, send a JPay money order and the completed JPay deposit slip to PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153. Money orders are accepted up to $999.99, and JPay doesn't charge a fee for them. Anything over $500 requires Louisiana DOC approval, so larger payments may be delayed during review. Mail only the payment paperwork—don't include letters or notes, because JPay discards extra enclosures. You also can't hand money directly to an incarcerated person during a visit. For canteen/package orders, the per-offender minimum is $20 and the maximum is $200 per institution and housing unit. Delivery dates can change.
