How to Send Money to Someone at Richland Parish Detention Center (JPay money orders)

Sending money to someone at Richland Parish Detention Center by mail? This guide covers the Louisiana JPay money order coupon process - what you'll need, how to fill it out, deposit limits that might slow things down, and who to call if you hit a snag. This is specifically for mailed money orders using the Louisiana coupon, not online transfers or other payment methods.

Start by getting the Louisiana JPay money order coupon. Fill in every field on the deposit slip - no shortcuts. You'll need the incarcerated person's full name (last, first) and their ID number, plus the institution information. For the sender section, include your first and last name, mailing address (street, city, state, zip), phone number, and email. The coupon makes it clear: all fields are required. Money orders won't be processed without a valid email and mailing address, so don't skip those even if you're rushing.

When you buy the money order, make it payable to JPay. Complete the deposit slip carefully so it matches the person you're sending money to - the incarcerated person's name and ID number need to be neat and accurate so JPay can route the funds to the right account. Before mailing, double-check that your contact information is complete, especially your mailing address and email. That's what JPay uses for processing and for returning the money order if something goes wrong.

The Louisiana JPay coupon caps single money orders at $999.99. Need to send more? You'll have to split it into multiple money orders.

One more thing to plan for: money orders over $500.00 require Louisiana Department of Corrections approval, which can delay when the funds post. If timing matters - say, for commissary or phone time - staying at $500 or under helps you avoid that extra wait.

Good news: you don't need a JPay account to send a money order. Fill out the money order and Louisiana deposit slip correctly, mail it in, and you're done - no online signup required.

Mail the completed money order and deposit slip to the address printed on the Louisiana JPay coupon: JPay PO Box 531370 Miami Shores, FL 33153
