How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
SCI Muncy accepts deposits through JPay (online, by phone, or mailed money order). Some state prisons also have lobby kiosks for in-person deposits. The Pennsylvania DOC recommends using JPay and warns against sending money through other people, third-party websites, or email accounts. Know the limits: credit card deposits cap at $300 per card every 72 hours, money orders at $999.99 each, and MoneyGram/walk-in cash at $5,000 per transaction. Include the inmate's full name and facility/booking ID so funds post to the right account. Deposited money can be used for commissary, phone/tablet services, and related charges.
