How long does it take for a payment to be credited to an inmate's account?

Asked 2 years ago
Typically, the time it takes for a payment to be credited to an inmate's account through JPay can vary based on several factors. Generally, payments made through JPay are processed quite quickly, often within a few hours. However, there are circumstances that may cause delays, such as weekends, holidays, or issues with the payment method used. Once the payment is processed, the inmate's account should reflect the funds within the time frame provided by JPay, which is generally a few hours up to one business day. It is also important to note that processing times may differ based on the specific correctional facility’s policies and procedures. For accurate and current information regarding payment processing times, individuals may want to refer to the specific details on JPay's website.
