Sending Money to Someone at Pocahontas Correctional Center: Fastest Methods and Fees (JPay & MoneyGram)
JPay is typically the fastest way to send money to someone at Pocahontas Correctional Center, but the right choice depends on whether you're paying online, by phone, or with cash. Here's what you'll need, what fees to expect, and which methods get funds there quickest.
Before making any deposit, you'll need the person's 7-digit inmate ID number. This connects your payment to the right account - whether you're sending online, by phone, or through a walk-in location.
Warning: If the person you’re sending money to owes fines, costs, or restitution, a percentage of what you deposit may be applied to those debts.
For the fastest option, pay online through JPay with a credit or debit card. This works well when someone needs commissary funds quickly and you'd rather skip mailing anything or traveling to a walk-in location.
Prefer not to pay online? You can call JPay at 1 (800) 574-5729 to make a payment over the phone. The line is available 24/7 - handy if you're on the go or don't have a computer nearby.
Moneygram Walkin
- ✓ Make a cash deposit at a MoneyGram agent location (including Walmart and CVS Pharmacy)
- ✓ Use MoneyGram’s agent locator to find the closest walk-in option near you
JPay charges deposit fees based on two factors: the amount you're sending and how you pay (online, phone, or walk-in). Check the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) fee table before submitting - especially if you're weighing smaller frequent deposits against larger one-time payments.
Do not mail money: Checks, cash, and other items of monetary value mailed to VADOC facilities or headquarters will be rejected.
- Get a JPay deposit slip - you’ll need to include it with the money order so it’s credited correctly.
- Mail the money order to JPay - send it with the deposit slip to: JPay, P.O. Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027.
- Plan for processing time - once JPay receives the money order, funds will be available to the inmate within three business days.
