The cheapest way to send money to someone in a Georgia prison (money order voucher vs. JPay fees)
Want to keep costs down? The free money order voucher is usually your cheapest option — but only if you're approved to send funds in the first place. Here's how the voucher stacks up against JPay fees, plus the one rule that can block any payment.
Before you spend time or money on a deposit, confirm you're on the offender's approved visitor list. Georgia requires this for any payment method - mailed vouchers, online transfers, all of it. Not on the list? Your payment gets rejected, no matter how you send it.
For the lowest cost, Georgia DOC lets you create a free money order voucher to print and mail in. The tradeoff? Speed. Plan for up to two weeks for mail and processing. If you're sending money for something time-sensitive, that timeline matters as much as the price.
- ✓ Create the free money order voucher
- ✓ Print the voucher
- ✓ Mail it in as directed
- ✓ Allow up to 2 weeks for mail and processing time
Sending money online through JPay means paying transaction fees. For transfers between $0.01 and $20.00, the fee is $3.50 per transaction. That adds up fast if you're sending small amounts often - which is why the free voucher wins on cost when you can afford to wait.
Something not working? First, confirm you're on the offender's approved visitor list - that requirement applies to every payment option. Still stuck? You can call and speak with a live agent who's available 24/7.
Tip: If you get stuck while trying to send money, you can call and speak with a live agent available 24/7.
