Sending Money to Someone at Jenkins: All Your Options Explained

Before sending any money to someone at Jenkins Corrections Center, confirm you're on their approved visitor list. GDC requires this for every payment method. Even with the right ID number and funds ready, the deposit won't go through unless you're approved.

JPay's online transfer is the fastest option. Fees depend on the amount: $3.50 for $0.01–$20.00, $5.00 for $20.01–$100.00, and $6.50 for $100.01–$300.00. Check your total before submitting - sending a slightly larger amount might bump you into a higher fee tier.

JPay also accepts walk-in deposits and MoneyGram deposits for larger amounts - up to $5,000 - with a flat $4.95 fee per transaction.

To send money through JPay, enter the person's Inmate ID to direct funds to the right account. Double-check the amount before finalizing so you know which fee tier applies ($3.50, $5.00, or $6.50). If something looks off or the payment won't go through, call JPay's 24/7 live agent support to sort it out.

Want to skip transaction fees entirely? Use a money order. Create a free voucher, print it, and mail it to Jenkins Corrections Center. The processing is listed as free, but it's slower - expect up to two weeks for mail and processing before funds appear.

1. Create the free money order voucher - generate the voucher you’ll use for the deposit.
2. Print the voucher - you’ll need a physical copy to send by mail.
3. Mail it to Jenkins Corrections Center - send it in and plan ahead.
4. Allow processing time - it can take up to two weeks for mail and processing.

GDC supports several ways to send money: walk-in/MoneyGram deposits, lockbox/money order deposits, and kiosks through JPay. The tradeoff is cost versus convenience. Walk-in/MoneyGram deposits cost $4.95 per transaction but handle up to $5,000. Lockbox/money order deposits are free but take longer. Decide what matters more - speed or keeping fees at zero.

Sending money for video visitation? Factor in the cost: JPay charges $3.95 for a 30-minute session.

Two things prevent most problems: eligibility and accuracy. First, confirm you're on the person's approved visitor list - this applies to every payment method. Second, verify the Inmate ID before submitting a transfer or mailing anything. Small typos cause big delays. If you hit a snag, JPay's 24/7 live agent support can help.
