How to Send Money to Someone at Mitchell County Jail: JPay Fees and the Approved-Visitor Requirement

Before you send money to someone at Mitchell County Jail, you need to be on their approved visitor list. This isn't just a visitation rule - it applies to deposits too. If you're not approved, your transfer can get blocked or delayed. Not sure if you're on the list? Find out before you pay a transaction fee or assume the money will arrive when your loved one needs it.

JPay's online transfer fees depend on how much you send, and the cutoffs matter. For $0.01 to $20.00, the fee is $3.50. Send $20.01 to $100.00, and you'll pay $5.00. The next tier covers $100.01 to $300.00 at $6.50 per transaction. A $100.00 transfer and a $100.01 transfer don't cost the same - double-check your amount before hitting submit. These fees apply per transaction. Splitting money into smaller deposits means paying the fee each time. Sometimes sending a bit more in one transfer saves you from multiple fees, but stay within whatever tier fits your budget.

Using JPay for more than deposits? Plan for a few extra costs. Electronic stamps for email run $0.35 each. Attachments cost extra and are tiered: $1.05 for up to 3, $2.10 for up to 6, and $3.50 for up to 10. If you're sending photos or documents, those fees add up fast. Bundle what you can to stay in the cheapest tier that works.
