Sending Money to an Inmate at VCFW: JPay Fees and Options Compared
Want to add money for someone at VCFW? Stick with the approved JPay options—not the facility mailbox. Here's a clear breakdown of how to send funds, what to expect for timing, and how to keep fees as low as possible.
Don’t mail money to the facility: Cash, checks, and other mailed money sent directly to the facility will be rejected.
It might seem easier to just drop cash or a check in the mail, but don't. Any money sent directly to the facility or headquarters gets rejected. You'll lose time and have to start over using the correct method.
Sending a money order? It has to go through JPay's lockbox - not to VCFW directly. Include a deposit slip with the money order and address it exactly like this: JPay P.O. Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027.
Once JPay receives your money order at the lockbox, funds become available within three business days. That timing matters when someone's waiting on commissary.
- ✓ Get a deposit slip and include it with your money order
- ✓ Mail the money order to: JPay P.O. Box 278170, Miramar, FL 33027
- ✓ Plan for up to three business days after JPay receives the money order for funds to be available
Don't want to mail anything? You can deposit by phone through JPay instead. Call 1 (800) 574-5729 anytime to make a payment.
JPay phone payments: 1 (800) 574-5729 (available any time).
Whichever option you choose, factor in the fees. JPay charges for every deposit, and the amount varies based on how much you're sending and which payment method you pick.
- ✓ Check the JPay fee for your deposit amount before you submit payment
- ✓ Compare the fee by method (for example: phone deposit vs. money order) before you choose
- ✓ Re-check fees if you change the amount you’re sending, since the fee depends on deposit size
