Every Way to Send Money to Someone at Tift County Law Detention — Fees, Free Options, and Requirements

Here's the thing most people don't realize: you must be on the recipient's approved visitor list before you can send money. This applies to every payment method. Even with the right ID number and funds ready to go, your transaction can get blocked if you're not on that list.

Want to avoid fees entirely? Create a money order voucher, print it, and mail it in. The tradeoff is time - plan for up to two weeks between mailing and processing. This works well when you're not in a rush and would rather keep that transaction fee in your pocket.

JPay is one of the paid options, and fees depend on how much you send per internet funds transfer. For $0.01 to $20.00, you'll pay $3.50. For $20.01 to $100.00, the fee is $5.00. For $100.01 to $300.00, it's $6.50. Before you hit submit, add up the total - the amount you're sending plus the fee - to make sure it fits your budget.

JPay costs extend to communication too. An electronic stamp for email runs $0.35, and attachments cost extra: $1.05 for up to 3 attachments, $2.10 for up to 6, or $3.50 for up to 10. If you send photos or documents regularly, those attachment fees add up fast. Think about what really needs to be attached versus what you can describe in the message.

Paying the least? The money order voucher wins - it's free to create. Just budget up to two weeks for mail and processing. Need to send money online? JPay is faster, but you'll pay a transaction fee ($3.50 for amounts from $0.01 to $20.00, for example). It usually comes down to urgency: use the free mailed voucher when timing is flexible, and pay for a transfer when you need it done now.

Running into problems? You can call and speak with a live agent 24/7. This is especially helpful if you're unsure which option to pick or something's going wrong mid-process.

Checklist

• ✓ Confirm you’re on the recipient’s approved visitor list before you try to send money.
• ✓ If you choose the free money order voucher, plan ahead: you’ll need to print it and mail it in, and it can take up to two weeks for mail and processing.
• ✓ If you use JPay online, check the fee for your transfer amount (for example, $0.01–$20.00 has a $3.50 per-transaction fee) so the total cost doesn’t surprise you.
