In 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections began using JPAY for the processing of ALL MONEY ORDERS sent to PA DOC inmates, as well as ALL incoming email.  Money orders are no longer accepted at individual institutions.  This service is being provided at NO COST to the inmate or sender and allows the funds to be posted to inmate accounts electronically and result in quicker access to the deposited funds.  Click HERE to learn more.
