JPay Services
New Vendor for Technology Services Notice
DOC has partnered with Securus Technologies to provide a consolidated contract for IITS rather than carrying separate service contracts for incarcerated individuals for phone services, media, and email services in facilities.
JPay is a private company the Department of Corrections (DOC) contracts with to provide money transfer and electronic media services for inmates and family and friends of inmates. All prisons facilitate the use of JPay services.
Send Money
JPay's Send Money is a service that lets friends and family of an inmate transfer money directly into their inmate trust account. This is also a service that allows inmates to make their community corrections and restitution payments. You can also fund an inmate's media account so they can spend those funds on kiosk related services, like purchasing music, stamps, etc.

Send Email
JPay's Email service provides a way for friends and family to write electronic letters to their incarcerated loved ones. Because inmates do not have access to the Internet, JPay's email service works differently than your email program at home. Inmates receive their email according to a schedule set by their facility, and emails are subject to screening and delivery rules that apply to traditional mail.
VideoGrams are part of JPay's Email service. A VideoGram is a recording using a webcam attached to your computer. VideoGrams are limited to 30 seconds in duration, and are attached to emails you will send to an inmate.
Go to the Send Mail page for more information about sending messages to inmates. Additional JPay resources can be found below:

Buy Music & Media
When friends and family provide funds to an inmate's JPay Media Account, also known as JPay Credits, inmates can purchase electronic stamps, a JPay Player, and buy media, like songs and games. A JPay Player is an agency-approved media player designed to give incarcerated individuals access to music, FM radio, games, and to read/write emails. The JPay Player is similar to a tablet. You can buy a JPay Player for an individual, and/or you can send them JPay credits so they may buy it themselves.
