You may have heard that people can send money to inmates through lobby kiosks. Lobby kiosks are a self-service interface where in this case, people are permitted to fund an inmate. By the existence of a lobby kiosk, it can give the inmates’ family and friends the flexibility to be able to deposit funds via cash or credit cards.
On the JPay site, it is explained that you are able to find lobby kiosks at the facility where your friend or family member is incarcerated. A credit card can be used by you at the lobby kiosk to send funds to the inmate.
