How to Send Money to Someone at Pulaski County Detention (When JPay Is Down)
JPay is down at Pulaski County Detention Center, so the jail has switched to a mail-in workaround. Here's how to send funds the way they're asking families to do it right now.
JPay is currently down at Pulaski County Detention Center. Until it's back online, the jail wants families to send money by mail using a US Postal Money Order - no other payment types accepted. If you're trying to help someone cover commissary or basic needs, this is the only option available right now.
Note: Pulaski County Detention Center reports JPay is currently down.
Address the envelope to: Pulaski County Detention Center 20 Justice Drive Ullin, IL 62992
- Buy a US Postal Money Order - While JPay is down, the jail says funds must be sent by mail using a US Postal Money Order only.
- Fill it out carefully - Before you write anything in, confirm the detainee/inmate’s details (like the exact name used by the jail, and whether a booking number is needed) so the money can be credited correctly.
- Place the money order in an envelope - Use a standard envelope and keep the contents simple so it’s easy for staff to process.
- Address the envelope to the jail - Send it to Pulaski County Detention Center, 20 Justice Drive, Ullin, IL 62992.
- Mail it - Drop it with the Postal Service and keep your receipt until you’re sure it’s been received and applied.
Reminder: During the outage, the facility says mailed funds must be a US Postal Money Order only.
A money order that can't be matched to the right person means delays and extra stress. Worth double-checking the details before you mail anything. The facility notice doesn't spell out exactly how to list the detainee on the money order or whether you need a booking number on the payment or in the envelope. If you're unsure, call Jail Administration at 618-845-3512 and ask what they need so the funds credit properly.
Call for clarity: Jail Administration can answer questions about what to write and how to address your payment - 618-845-3512.
