Sending Money to an Inmate at SCI Mahanoy: JPay Money Order Instructions
Sending money to someone at SCI Mahanoy by money order? The key is using the correct JPay mailing address and filling out the deposit slip clearly—mistakes can hold things up.
For Pennsylvania inmates, including those at SCI Mahanoy, JPay money orders go to JPay's processing center - not the prison. Mail your envelope to: JPay, 717 Market Street, Ste. 423, Lemoyne, PA 17043.
- ✓ Address the envelope to: JPay, 717 Market Street, Ste. 423, Lemoyne, PA 17043
- ✓ Include the completed Money Order Deposit Slip with your payment
- ✓ Put the money order and the deposit slip together in the same envelope before mailing
On the deposit slip, fill in the recipient’s full name (last, first) and their ID number. If you have room on the money order itself, you can also write the recipient’s name and ID on the “memo” or “used for” line so it stays tied to the right person.
Complete the sender section with your name and contact details. JPay needs this information to reach you if something on the slip is unclear or doesn't match.
Heads up: Incomplete or hard-to-read deposit slips cause delays. Fill out every field clearly.
Each deposit slip has a $999.99 maximum. Sending more? Split it into separate money orders with their own deposit slips to stay under the per-form limit.
Once JPay receives your payment, approved money orders are processed within 10 business days. That clock starts when they receive it - mailing time is separate.
- ✓ Keep each money order at $999.99 or less per deposit slip
- ✓ If you’re sending a larger total, use multiple money orders and multiple deposit slips
- ✓ Processing time applies to approved money orders and is counted in business days after JPay receives them
Practical Tips
- ✓ Use a U.S. Postal Money Order (recommended)
- ✓ Make the money order payable to JPay
- ✓ Type or print in blue or black ink so the deposit slip is easy to read
- ✓ Keep your receipt and a copy of what you sent for your records
- Confirm the recipient’s full name and ID number - enter both on the deposit slip, and add them to the money order memo line if you can.
- Check the amount - keep the money order at $999.99 or less per deposit slip.
- Complete every field clearly - missing or unreadable information can slow down processing.
- Mail the payment to JPay - place the money order and deposit slip in one envelope and send it to 717 Market Street, Ste. 423, Lemoyne, PA 17043.
Keep in mind: Don't include letters or notes in the envelope - they'll be thrown out. Hold onto your money order receipt as proof of purchase.
