Sending Money to Someone at Sabine Parish Detention: Methods, Limits, and Addresses

You can't hand cash to someone during a visit at Sabine Parish Detention. All deposits go through approved channels - specifically JPay. Your options include online deposits, mail-in money orders, phone deposits, on-site kiosks (where available), and MoneyGram walk-up locations.

JPay's online service caps transactions at $300.00 each. It's fast, but fees add up - so it's not always the cheapest route. There's also a daily cutoff at 10 p.m. CST for same-day processing. Double-check the current cutoff on the DOC/JPay site before counting on a same-day submission.

Need to send more than $300.00? MoneyGram walk-up locations let you deposit up to $4,999.99 per transaction. Expect about two days for the funds to hit the account.

Note: Deposits of $500.00 or greater are subject to investigation. If you’re sending a larger amount, build in extra time in case posting is delayed.

Mailing a money order? Send it to this address exactly as written: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153.

Mailed money orders max out at $999.99 each. For larger amounts, use MoneyGram or split it across multiple deposits.

Mailed money orders aren't instant. JPay processes them within ten (10) business days of receipt, so plan ahead if you go this route.

Louisiana DOC policy also allows JPay deposits by phone and through facility kiosks. Kiosks are convenient when available, but not every location has the same setup or hours. Call ahead to confirm what Sabine Parish Detention offers before making the trip.
