How to Send Money to Someone at MCF Rush City Using JPay
To send money to someone at MCF Rush City through JPay without delays, you need three details: their full name, their MN DOC Offender ID (OID), and the facility name.
The information you enter when sending money through JPay matters. Always use the incarcerated person's full name, their MN DOC Offender ID (OID), and the facility name. These identifiers route the funds to the right person at the right place, which is especially important when names are common.
Don't have the OID yet? Look it up first. The Minnesota DOC Friends and Family Handbook directs families to the state's search page where you can find someone's MN DOC Offender ID. Keep that number handy. The DOC uses it for most services, including JPay and contacting your loved one.
JPay is an electronic funds transfer service referenced by the Minnesota DOC for sending money to incarcerated individuals. Think of it as an online tool: select the correct person and facility, then submit your payment.

Some JPay services have specific account requirements. For example, purchasing a Video Visitation session requires a JPay.com account with a Visa or MasterCard on file.
The Minnesota DOC describes JPay as an electronic funds transfer service, which is why families use it so often. If you plan to use JPay for other services (like Video Visitation sessions), you'll need a JPay.com account with a Visa or MasterCard saved.
Common mix-ups: Most problems happen when the name doesn't match the DOC record exactly, the OID is wrong, or the facility is incorrect. Slow down at checkout and double-check the full name, OID, and facility before you submit.
