What It Really Costs to Send Money to Someone at Ware County Jail (JPay fees and key requirements)
Before you pay any fees, make sure you're actually allowed to send money. For people housed in Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) facilities, one requirement trips families up more than anything else: approval.
To send money to someone in a GDC facility, you must be on their approved visitor list. This applies regardless of which payment method you use. Confirm your approval status before starting any transfer. If you're not approved, you can't fix it at checkout - get that sorted first, then send funds.
JPay is one common online option. Send $0.01 to $20.00 online, and you'll pay a $3.50 fee per transaction. That "per transaction" part adds up fast - two separate payments means two fees. Plan fewer, larger transfers when you can.
Need help mid-transfer? You can speak with a live agent 24/7. Useful if you get stuck or just want someone to walk you through the process.
- Confirm the offender’s details and your approval - Have the offender’s GDC ID handy and verify you’re on their approved visitor list before you try to send money.
- Choose how you’ll send the funds - If you use JPay online, a $0.01–$20.00 transfer carries a $3.50 per-transaction fee.
- Get support if you need it - You can call and speak with a live agent 24/7 to complete the transfer with help.
Note: This covers one common JPay online fee example and the approved-visitor requirement. Other options and costs vary - confirm what applies to your situation before paying.
