How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Franklin C.I. accepts mail-in JPay money orders to add funds to an inmate's account. Before sending anything, confirm you're on the inmate's Approved Visitors List—otherwise your payment may be rejected. JPay requires a copy of your valid ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) with the money order. Once JPay receives an approved money order, processing typically takes ten business days. For mailing, follow JPay's instructions: the main address is PO Box 260010, with an alternate at PO Box 260130, both in Hollywood, Florida. A JPay coupon also references MoneyGram cash deposits using receive code 5385—check vendor directions if you prefer that option.
