JPay Services

JPay is a private company that partners with state, county and federal correctional facilities across the country to provide services for family and friends of inmates. All Department of Corrections (DOC) prisons facilitate the use of JPay services. See availability & rates for information about the services available at each facility, and the rates to use those 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.

Go to the Send Money page for more information about sending money to inmates. Additional JPay resources can be found below:

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.

Go to the Send Mail page for more information about sending messages to inmates. Additional JPay resources can be found below:

Email will be translated using a translator available on the JPay system.

Buy a JPay Player/Tablet

A JPay Player is an agency-approved media player designed to give inmates 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 inmate, and/or you can send them JPay credits so they may buy it themselves.
