How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
There are a couple ways to add funds for someone at Screven County Jail: online transfers through approved vendors like JPay, or mailed money orders using the jail's free printable voucher. Whichever method you choose, follow the instructions exactly—small mistakes can delay processing. Important: you must be on the person's approved sender/visitor list before any deposit will be accepted. Mailing a money order with the facility's voucher? Plan ahead—it can take up to two weeks for USPS delivery and processing before funds appear in the account. JPay internet transfer fees are $3.50 for $0.01–$20.00, $5.00 for $20.01–$100.00, and $6.50 for $100.01–$300.00. If you run into problems, a live agent is available 24/7.
