How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Common options for Georgia facilities include third-party online transfers (like JPay), lobby kiosks or ATMs, mailed money orders with a printable voucher, and walk-in or MoneyGram deposits. Fees and timing vary by method. JPay charges $3.50 for internet transfers of $0.01–$20.00. Mailed voucher deposits can take up to two weeks to post. Walk-in and MoneyGram deposits may carry fees too—$4.95 for certain walk-in transactions, for example. Lockbox and money order deposits may be free. Double-check the facility name and inmate ID to avoid delays.
