How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To mail a deposit to someone at Natchitoches Parish Detention Center, use a money order made payable to JPay. Write the inmate's full name and inmate ID on the memo/used-for line, then mail it to: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153. The JPay deposit form lists a maximum of $999.99 per money order. Money orders over $500 may require DOC approval, which can delay when funds appear on the inmate's account. Once approved, JPay processes mailed money orders and posts funds within ten (10) business days after receipt. Questions about the form? Call JPay at 800-574-5729.
