Sending Money to Someone at River North: JPay Fees, Timelines, and What to Avoid
Want to get money to someone at River North Correctional Center fast? Your best bet is an online JPay payment with a credit or debit card. Have their 7-digit Inmate ID Number ready before you start - most delays happen because of missing or wrong ID info.
Warning: Don’t mail cash, checks, or money orders directly to River North (or to headquarters). Those items will be rejected.
- Get a JPay money order deposit slip - you’ll need to include it with your money order.
- Fill out the deposit slip completely - all fields must be completed and legible to avoid processing delays.
- Mail the money order and deposit slip to JPay - send it to: JPay, PO Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027.
JPay charges deposit fees based on how much you send and how you send it. Online is cheapest - a $0.00–$20.00 deposit costs $2.95 online versus $6.95 at a walk-in location. Fees go up as your deposit amount increases, so check which bracket you fall into before hitting submit.
Sending a money order? Factor in mail time plus processing. Once JPay receives your money order and deposit slip, funds typically show up in the inmate's account within three business days. That clock starts when JPay gets it - not when you drop it in the mailbox. If your loved one needs money by a certain date, give yourself extra buffer.
Common Mistakes
- ✓ Don’t mail cash, checks, or money orders to River North or headquarters - those payments will be rejected.
- ✓ Don’t skip fields on the JPay money order deposit slip; incomplete or illegible forms can slow processing.
- ✓ Don’t mail a money order “to the prison” - send the money order with the deposit slip to JPay at PO Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027.
Note: With mailed money orders, missing or hard-to-read information on the JPay deposit slip can delay processing - complete every field.
