How to Send Money to Someone at Morehouse Parish: Mail, MoneyGram, JPay, and Kiosk Options

Family and friends can add funds to a Morehouse Parish account several ways: mail a money order, use MoneyGram at a walk-up location, send money online (including JPay's mobile app), call in a deposit by phone, or use a kiosk. The best method depends on what you have access to - cash versus card, whether you can get to a walk-up location, and how quickly the money needs to post.

Sending a money order by mail? Louisiana's process runs through JPay. Include a JPay money order deposit form (deposit slip) with your money order, then mail everything to: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153. That deposit slip matters - missing or hard-to-read information is one of the most common reasons mail deposits get delayed.

• ✓ Keep each mailed money order at or under $999.99 (that’s the maximum amount allowed via mail).
• ✓ Mail money order deposits don’t have a fee, but they do take processing time - plan ahead if you’re trying to cover commissary by a certain date.
• ✓ Deposits of $500 or more can be subject to investigation, which may add time before the funds are available.

MoneyGram is the walk-up option for paying in person with cash. You can send up to $4,999.99 - much higher than the mail money-order cap.

MoneyGram sends funds electronically, so it's faster than mailing a money order. Expect about 2 days for the money to land in the account. One thing to know: deposits of $500 or more are subject to investigation, which can slow things down.

Don't want to mail anything? JPay also accepts deposits online (including through their mobile app), by phone, and at kiosks in some facilities. JPay offers an email service too - faster than regular mail and lets you attach photos, which is useful when you need to get a message through quickly.

Kiosks are listed as an option, but availability varies by housing location. Before making a trip, confirm that kiosks work for Morehouse Parish deposits and ask where they're located and what payment types they accept.

1. Choose your deposit channel - Decide whether you’re using mail, MoneyGram walk-up, internet/app, telephone, or a kiosk.
2. Have the person’s information ready - You’ll need the incarcerated person’s identifying details to make sure the funds land in the right account.
3. If you’re mailing a money order, use the JPay deposit slip - Include the JPay money order deposit form and send it to JPay’s PO Box in Miami Shores, Florida.

Common Mistakes Safety

• ✓ Mailing a money order without the required JPay money order deposit form (deposit slip).
• ✓ Leaving off the incarcerated person’s ID information on the deposit slip.
• ✓ Sending more than $999.99 on a single mailed money order.
• ✓ Tossing the receipt - keep it until the funds show up on the account.

If funds don't show up when expected, your receipt is your lifeline - hold onto it until the deposit posts. Timing varies by method: mail deposits are free but take longer to process, while MoneyGram typically takes about 2 days. If there's a delay, double-check that the deposit slip and ID information were filled out correctly, then follow up through the same channel you used to send the money.
