JPay
JPay is a privately held information technology and financial services provider focused on serving the United States prison system. With headquarters in Miramar, Florida, the company contracts with state, county, and federal prisons and jails to provide technologies and services including money transfer, email, video visitation and parole and probation payments to approximately 1.5 million inmates throughout 35 states.
JPay was started in 2002 by the company's CEO and founder, Ryan Shapiro. In 2005, the company moved its headquarters from New York to Miami.
In 2009, JPay's services expanded to offer an inmate MP3 player, the JP3, and a library of music tracks for purchase.
In 2011, JPay moved its headquarters from Miami to Miramar, Florida, to accommodate a larger call center.
In 2012, JPay launched a tablet, the JP4, designed for the prison industry, which enables inmates to read and draft emails, play games, and listen to music. It also allows inmates to view and attach photos and videograms. The decision to permit use of the JP4, and the full extent of its functions, is made by the state corrections departments. JPay's tablet has been distributed in seven DOC agencies, including North Dakota, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Michigan and Washington.
In April 2015, JPay was acquired by Securus Technologies though terms of the agreement were kept secret.
An inmate's friend or family member can use JPay's money transfer service to deposit money to the inmate's commissary or trust account. JPay offers electronic payment and deposit options which include credit and debit card payments via online, phone, and mobile app channels. The company has a relationship with MoneyGram to accept cash at MoneyGram's U.S. agent locations, like Walmart and CVS/pharmacy. Additionally, the company processes money orders on behalf of its contracted agencies.
JPay provides services that an inmate and an inmate's family and friends can use to communicate, such as video visitation, email, videogram, instant messaging, and a tablet computer ("J8P5").
