How to Send Money by Money Order to Someone at Tensas Parish Detention (LA DOC rules)
To send money by money order to someone at Tensas Parish Detention under Louisiana DOC rules, make the money order payable to JPay and mail it with a completed Money Order Deposit Slip. Every field needs to be filled out and easy to read - missing or illegible information will delay processing.
Before you seal anything, take a moment with the Money Order Deposit Slip. Louisiana's form requires every field filled out, and it must be legible. This is the most common reason payments get held up. Print clearly. Double-check what you wrote so the information matches the right person without guesswork.
- ✓ Write the incarcerated person’s full name and ID on the money order (use the memo or “used for” line).
- ✓ Put a valid email address on the deposit slip.
- ✓ Put a valid mailing address on the deposit slip.
Tip: Incomplete or hard-to-read deposit slips slow everything down. Fill out every field and make sure your writing is clear before sealing the envelope.

Mail the money order and the completed deposit slip to: JPay, PO Box 531370, Miami Shores, FL 33153.
Louisiana's money order deposit form caps single money orders at $999.99. Sending more than that? Break it into multiple money orders.
Heads up: Money orders over $500 require Louisiana DOC approval, which can delay when the funds post to your loved one’s account.
Keep the envelope simple. Don't include letters or notes with your money order - anything extra will be discarded.
