How to Send Money to an Inmate at Lake City Correctional Facility (JPay money orders)

Before buying a money order, confirm you're allowed to send funds. At Lake City Correctional Facility, you must be on your loved one's Approved Visitors List. If you're not approved, the deposit won't go through.

Make the money order payable to JPay. This is the required payee name for Florida Department of Corrections deposits.

Write your loved one's full name and DC (ID) number on the money order's "memo" or "used for" line. Include the same information on the deposit slip. Write clearly. Missing or illegible details are a common reason deposits get delayed.

Mail the money order and completed deposit slip to: JPay, PO Box 260010, Hollywood, FL 33026. If you have a choice, JPay recommends using a US Postal Money Order.

Approved deposits are processed within ten (10) business days after JPay receives your money order. That timeline starts when they have it in hand, not the day you mail it.
