How to Send Money to Someone at Richland Parish Detention Center Using JPay
Sending money to someone at Richland Parish Detention Center goes through JPay—you can't hand over cash in person. Here are the mailing details and the small slip mistakes that slow things down most often.
Want to help someone with commissary or basic needs? You might think bringing cash is the easiest option. Louisiana doesn't allow it. Visitors can't give money directly to an imprisoned person - deposits have to go through JPay, the system Louisiana uses for money transfers at state correctional facilities.
Mail your money order with a completed JPay deposit slip in the same envelope. Use this exact address: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153.
Note: Don’t include letters, notes, or extra messages with your money order payment - those inserts will be discarded.
Fill-out-deposit-slip
- ✓ Make the money order payable to JPay.
- ✓ Include the incarcerated person’s name and ID on the money order (for example, on the “memo” or “used for” line).
- ✓ Complete all fields on the Money Order Deposit Slip, and make sure everything is legible.
- ✓ Include the sender’s valid email and mailing address - money orders won’t be processed without them.
The deposit slip is where most delays happen. Missing or hard-to-read fields slow processing. Take an extra minute to double-check every line before sealing the envelope.
Sending more than $500.00? Plan for extra time. Money orders over that amount require Louisiana DOC approval, which can delay when funds actually post to your loved one's account.
Once JPay receives and approves your money order, processing takes up to ten (10) business days.
- ✓ Leaving off the incarcerated person’s name and ID on the money order
- ✓ Turning in a deposit slip with missing fields
- ✓ Writing information that’s hard to read (illegible)
- ✓ Forgetting the sender’s valid email and mailing address
Heads up: Money orders over $500 need DOC approval first. After that clears, allow up to ten (10) business days for JPay to process it.
