How to Send Money to SCI Dallas (PA)

One baseline rule: an inmate's account cannot be funded anonymously. You'll need to use a payment method that ties the deposit to your real identity. Avoid workarounds that hide who the money came from.

How much you can send depends on the payment method. Credit cards are capped at $300 per card every 72 hours. Money orders max out at $999.99 each. Cash or walk-in transactions through MoneyGram allow up to $5,000 per transaction.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Choose your payment method (credit card, money order, or cash/walk-in via MoneyGram)
• ✓ If paying by credit card, stay within $300 per card every 72 hours
• ✓ If sending a money order, keep each money order at $999.99 or less
• ✓ If using MoneyGram for a cash/walk-in payment, keep each transaction at $5,000 or less
• ✓ Send funds under your real identity (accounts cannot be funded anonymously)

1. Ask your loved one to watch for a receipt - when funds are posted from JPay, an individual receipt is given to the inmate, which can help you confirm the deposit was credited.

Before sending a large amount, double-check the current limits for your method. Credit cards allow $300 per card every 72 hours. Money orders cap at $999.99 each. MoneyGram walk-in payments top out at $5,000 per transaction.

Also confirm you're sending in a way that identifies you as the sender, since anonymous deposits aren't allowed. If your loved one says a deposit is missing, ask them to check for the JPay receipt (when applicable) and their monthly statement, which lists all transactions and deposits.
