Sending Money to Someone at Hall County Prison: Fees, Options, and the 'Approved Visitor' Rule

Before comparing fees or picking a payment method, there's one rule that can stop your deposit cold: you must already be on the recipient's approved visitor list. This applies whether you pay online, by phone, at a walk-in location, or by mail. If you're a new contact or haven't visited before, confirm your status first.

• ✓ JPay Internet Funds Transfer fee (\$0.01–\$20.00): \$3.50 per transaction
• ✓ JPay Internet Funds Transfer fee (\$20.01–\$100.00): \$5.00 per transaction
• ✓ JPay Internet Funds Transfer fee (\$100.01–\$300.00): \$6.50 per transaction

JPay works well if you want to send money right now. Enter the person's Inmate ID, and if you have a JPay account, you can pay online with a credit or debit card. Watch the fee tiers. Sending $20 or less costs $3.50. Between $20.01 and $100 runs $5.00, and $100.01 to $300 costs $6.50 per transaction. If you're sending money regularly, picking amounts strategically can help you avoid paying more in fees than you need to.

1. Create the free money order voucher - Use the voucher option so you can print it out for mailing.
2. Mail the voucher with your money order - Include the details needed for the deposit to be credited correctly.
3. Plan for the wait - This method is listed as free for lockbox/money order deposits, but you should allow up to 2 weeks for mail and processing time.

Prefer to pay in person? Walk-in deposits through MoneyGram are available. The fee is $4.95 per transaction for amounts up to $5,000.00.

If you get stuck - whether with the steps, the payment screen, or making sure you have the right information - live agents are available 24/7 to help.
