If you want to send an email to an inmate on JPay, you will need the stamps. Of course, after you have bought the stamps, you’re able to send an email to an inmate/offender. With stamps, you and your loved ones will stay-connected through email exchanges.
Sure, you may wonder how to get more stamps on JPay to make you send more emails to your loved ones. However, the coverage of JPay stamps is limited. So, is it possible to get more stamps of limited quantity? Let’s find out the answer from our post below!
Can You Get More Stamps on JPay?
We emphasize that you cannot get more stamps if you do not buy them more. So, what you should do to get more stamps is to buy more on JPay. It means that you can buy more stamps and send more emails to an inmate too. It’s important to note, frequently sending emails to an inmate is inappropriate too.
So, if you want to send a long email to an inmate, make sure to buy the stamps with certain letters available. Sure, the cost of stamps will be different in each state/facility. A stamp commonly costs starting from $0.4 to $0.5.
We give you an example of stamp price that you will get from the Department of Corrections Washington State, here you go!
Product/Service | Rate | Amount | Applicable Individual |
Stamp Packages | $2.00 | 6 stamps | Inmate or Customer |
Stamp Packages | $5.00 | 20 stamps | Inmate or Customer |
Stamp Packages | $7.50 | 35 stamps | Inmate or Customer |
Stamp Packages | $10.00 | 60 stamps | Inmate or Customer |
1 stamp | per email | Inmate or Customer | |
Photo Attachment | 1 Stamp | per attachment | Customer |
eCard | 1 Stamp | per attachment | Inmate or Customer |
Snap N’ Send | 1 Stamp | per photo | Customer |
Inbound VideoGram | 5 Stamps | per 30 second video clip | Customer |
Generally, the stamp package in each facility/state will get you different letters, for example:
- $2.50 will get you 10 letters
- $5.00 will get you 20 letters
- $12.50 will get you 50 letters
So, make sure you buy the stamps depending on how many words you will convey to an inmate. If you want to tell something, it’s better for you to buy the stamps at a higher price. The point is, make sure to buy the stamps as you need. If you want more stamps, you should buy more. On the other hand, the more stamps you buy, the more emails you will send to an inmate.
Moreover, you may be able to get more stamps for free if there’s a JPay’s promotional campaign. However, this event is totally rare.
