How to Send Money to Someone in Baldwin County — Money Orders, JPay, Fees, and Timing
Sending money is straightforward once you know your options and what they cost. Here's how to fund an account, what fees to expect, and how long it takes.
One requirement applies to every payment method: you must be on the offender's approved visitor list. That's true whether you're mailing a money order voucher or using JPay online or by phone. If you're not on the list yet, your payment won't go through - so confirm this before sending anything.
Want to avoid fees entirely? You can create a free Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) money order voucher, print it, and mail it in. The catch: it's slow. Allow up to two weeks for mail delivery and processing before the funds show up.
JPay offers faster electronic deposits through their website, app, or phone line. Fees depend on how much you send: $0.01–$20.00 costs $3.50, $20.01–$100.00 costs $5.00, and $100.01–$300.00 costs $6.50.
Prefer to pay in person? Walk-in deposits and MoneyGram deposits are available through JPay for up to $5,000.00, with a flat $4.95 fee per transaction.
If you’re budgeting for communication costs too, JPay lists video visitation at $3.95 for 30 minutes.
JPay e-mail charges add up over time. Each electronic stamp costs $0.35, and attachments run $1.05 for up to 3.
