5 Ways to Send Money to Someone at Rogers State Prison (and Which Is Fastest)

Before sending money to anyone at Rogers State Prison, confirm you're on their approved visitor list. Georgia Department of Corrections requires this for every payment method - electronic or mail. Skip this step and your transaction could fail or get stuck in limbo.

Note: General population visitation at Rogers State Prison is Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

JPay is one of the fastest options. You can send funds online, through the mobile app, or by phone. For smaller amounts, expect a $3.50 fee on transfers between $0.01–$20.00. That fee stings on low-dollar deposits, but you're paying for speed and convenience over mailing anything.

Speed tip: Electronic options like JPay move faster than mail - but they still won't go through unless you're on the offender's approved visitor list.

Want to skip the fees? The free money order voucher option works, but it takes patience. Print the voucher, mail it with your money order, and wait. Georgia DOC says to allow up to two weeks for mail and processing. Not ideal if someone needs funds fast.

Mail anything related to Rogers State Prison to: 300 Patrol Road, Forsyth, GA 31029.

MoneyGram walk-in deposits offer a middle ground - faster than mailing a voucher, though not instant. You pay cash in person at a MoneyGram location, and funds typically post quicker than mail. Expect a per-transaction fee for the convenience.

Tradeoff: Walk-in deposits are quicker but cost more. And yes - you still need to be on the approved visitor list.

Running into problems? Live agents are available 24/7 to help with payment issues - whether you can't get a transfer to go through, aren't sure which option to pick, or need to fix something fast.

Quick Comparison

  • JPay (online/phone/app) - Typically one of the fastest ways to send funds; for $0.01–$20.00, the fee is $3.50 per transaction.

  • Walk-in deposits/MoneyGram - Faster than mail for many people; fees apply.
  • Live agent help - Available 24/7 to help you complete a transfer or troubleshoot issues.
  • Any method - You must be on the recipient’s approved visitor list before you can send money.

Need the money there fast? Start with JPay. Just watch the fees on small deposits - $3.50 on a $20 transfer adds up. If time isn't urgent and you want to save money, the free voucher route works fine. Just plan for that two-week window.

Final reminder: Every option requires you to be on the offender's approved visitor list. No exceptions.
