Money Orders
Money orders can be sent to an inmate.  To do so, you just send it to the normal address for the inmate and the mailroom will forward it.   Once received by the Inmate Trust Office, funds will be placed on the inmate's books.  The average timeframe for the funds to be available to the inmate is 2 to 3 weeks.
 
You can also place money on inmates' books using JPay.com.  Below are the details for JPay. It is a much quicker way to get money on an inmate's books.  Funds can be sent either online or at any Ace Cash Express location.
