How to Send Money to MCF Lino Lakes, Mn (MN)

MCF Lino Lakes uses JPay for electronic money transfers. If you want to add funds to someone's account, JPay is the method supported by the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

Before you start, gather the information JPay needs to match your payment to the right person: the incarcerated person's full name, their OID number, and the facility name (MCF Lino Lakes). Missing or incorrect details can delay your payment or cause it to be rejected.

Note: JPay is also used for video visitation scheduling and payment. If you use it for video visits, payment involves choosing a saved card and entering that card’s validation code.

Steps

  1. If you’re paying for a video visit in JPay, pick your payment method - Select the saved card you want to use.

Running into trouble? Start by double-checking the details that control where your money goes. Confirm that JPay is still the accepted transfer option for MCF Lino Lakes, and verify the exact recipient identifiers you need to enter (full name, OID number, and facility) along with any formatting requirements. Check current limits, fees, and processing times through official instructions, since those can change. If you also use JPay for video visitation, verify whether it uses the same account setup and payment flow. Video visits require selecting a saved card and entering that card's validation code, so make sure your card on file is current and you're following the right prompts for whichever service you're using.

Tip: Use the official Minnesota DOC and MCF Lino Lakes instructions, plus JPay’s current help pages, to confirm the latest steps and requirements before you submit a payment.
