Sending money to someone at David Wade: JPay money orders explained
Sending money by mail to someone in Louisiana DOC custody (including David Wade) comes down to one thing: fill out the JPay deposit slip correctly and mail it to the right address. Get it right, and the funds post without delays.
When you buy the money order, make it payable to JPay. If the payee line doesn’t match what JPay is expecting, your payment can get held up or returned instead of being credited to your loved one’s account.
On the money order, include your loved one's full name and DOC ID number. Write this on the "memo" or "used for" line - it ensures the deposit gets credited to the right person.
Mail the money order and completed deposit slip together to: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153. Double-check that the deposit slip is filled out completely and legible - a quick review now can save you days of delays.
Note: Don’t include letters or notes in the envelope with your payment - JPay’s deposit-slip instructions say they’ll be discarded.
A single money order can be for up to $999.99. Need to send more? Use multiple money orders.
Heads up on larger amounts: money orders over $500 require Louisiana Department of Corrections approval, which can delay when funds actually post to your loved one's account.
Once JPay receives your envelope, approved money orders are processed within ten (10) business days. Sending over $500? Build in extra time - DOC approval adds to the timeline.
