Overview

Before you send money to someone at SCI Mahanoy, double-check that you have SCI Mahanoy and not SCI Frackville. The two are separate PA DOC prisons that share the town of Frackville, each with its own inmates and accounts, so a deposit tied to the wrong prison or PA DOC number is the most common reason money stalls. Once you have the right person and number, fund their JPay account. JPay is the deposit service the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC) uses across all of its state prisons. For every method, the caps, and where to mail a money order, see Send Money to SCI Mahanoy.

If the person transfers out of SCI Mahanoy, do I lose the money?

No. The JPay account and its balance travel with the person to their next PA DOC prison, so there is nothing to reopen. Look them up in the PA DOC locator to confirm where they are before your next deposit.
