Executive Summary

JPay is a 14-year old technology company located in south Florida with the single purpose of serving our
nation’s correction agencies. Our mission is to design easy and convenient ways to assist agencies in
fulfilling their mission to rehabilitate inmates and reduce recidivism while keeping the facility and
community safe. Our customer base includes correction staff, inmates and their family & friends - the
driving force behind our innovation and drive to succeed.
The requested Lock Box and Debit Card services are not just part of our “corrections portfolio” but are
key components of our business. JPay’s payment footprint includes more than two million inmates and
more than a million Release Debit Cards. We process more inmate payments than any other company in
the world. No one else can come close to this volume, scalability and most importantly, experience.

Lock Box Services

JPay has been providing Lock Box services for more than eight years and continues to grow its payment
volumes. JPay’s Lock Box service processed more than 11,000 lock box payments last year in CDCR alone,
and has had similar success with our 15 other state Department of Corrections clients:

Release Debit Card Services
In 2006, JPay designed and implemented a Release Debit Card program for the Colorado Department of
Corrections to eliminate the need to issue cash or checks to inmates being released. After 11 years of
providing Release Debit Card services for the corrections industry, we are proud to say that no other
corrections-grade Debit Card program in the country is this tried and tested. In addition to CDCR, JPay’s
Release Debit Card program is being used in these 13 state prison systems:




Colorado
Louisiana
Oklahoma

Competitive Advantage
Our product offerings and cost structure are designed to be the most advantageous for our
correctional clients while providing inmates and their friends and family a wide variety of
affordable services. Our competitive advantage centers around three things - 1) Scalability, 2)
Reliability, and 3) People. All of these components distinguish us from our competition and have
proven so time and time again.
Payment Processing Scalability and Reliability
Without scalability, payment systems are susceptible to crashing due to high transaction
volumes. By ignoring this critical aspect of system design, companies are exposed to periods of
transaction overload. Fourteen years of transaction history with 99.9% uptime is a testament to
the strength of JPay’s payment platform. Our systems are designed and built to process millions
of transactions through all payment channels every day.
Outstanding Customer Service
Behind every transaction is a person, and our philosophy is to treat each of them with the utmost
care. For customers calling to make a payment or just to ask a question, a team of highly trained
representatives take calls in English, as well as several other languages, 24 hours a day.
For facility support, a dedicated team of Help Desk Agents are on call to assist staff at all times.
Help Desk Agents have completed the highest level of system training, enabling them to respond
to CDCR staff requests on the spot. JPay finds and vets the best people to work at the company
and continues to train and grow our staff so we can constantly provide outstanding service for
clients, inmates, and families.

Our California Partnership
CDCR has played a significant role in JPay’s maturity as a company. CDCR was an
early adopter of JPay’s payment service and has provided JPay with years of valuable
feedback and critical input. CDCR has helped JPay not only create a great product
but learn how to better communicate and interact with staff, inmates, and their
families.
Today, JPay commands the largest market share of CDCR’s inmate payments. JPay processed more than
640,000 transactions last year for CDCR and this number continues to grow. With statistics like this, CDCR
can be assured that JPay continues to be the best choice to handle CDCR’s Lock Box payments.
The proposed Lock Box and Release Debit Card services complement JPay’s electronic payment platform
also in place at CDCR. This suite of services provides a greater level of insight into inmate transactions and
their relationship network as a whole. We truly value our partnership with CDCR and look forward to
continuing to provide CDCR with Lock Box and Release Debit Card services.

Contractor Tasks/Deliverables
1. Lock Box Services
a. Provide cost free Lock Box Services to CDCR inmates’ family and friends free of cost.
At no cost to CDCR or the customer (family member or friend sending money), JPay collects and
processes all money orders, bank and cashier’s checks through our secure, in-house Lock Box service.
JPay has a team of employees that process money orders around the clock as well as a fully redundant
processing system.
Money orders are sent to a California-based PO Box exclusively designated for CDCR. Ever since CDCR
chose JPay as the exclusive provider of Lock Box services, CDCR payment data from every JPay
collection channel has been instantly available on JPay’s online reporting system, giving CDCR
complete transparency over all types of payments made through JPay as well as robust investigative
reporting capabilities.
Inmate Verification
The JPay process of posting Lock Box payments requires the user to complete and submit a
deposit slip. Our software reads and verifies all scanned items to ensure the information on the
slip matches the payment information. The inmate information (name and ID) is verified against a
file of inmate data that JPay receives from CDCR each day. Lock Box payments are included in the
daily payment file JPay sends back to CDCR for automatic posting to inmate accounts the same
day they are processed.
Delivery Timing
JPay has secured key relationships within the banking industry enabling JPay to perfect the cash
settlement process for Lock Box processing. JPay also uses the leading money order processing
equipment to ensure the most efficient, error-minimizing, corrections-friendly Lock Box
operation in the industry.

homepage as well as maintaining a link to the JPay website where the remittance form can be
downloaded.

Keep all names and identification numbers of inmates confidential.
JPay understands and will comply with this requirement.

The Contractor shall provide Lock Box informational materials, (i.e. posters and pamphlets) to be
displayed in each CDCR correctional facility, in multiple languages, (at a minimum, in English and
Spanish), for the purpose of notifying family and friends about the availability of the Lock Box Services.

Adult Institutions. Any advertising for Services covered under this contract must be reviewed and
approved by CDCR prior to its use. Any advertising for services not under this Agreement is strictly
prohibited.
JPay will continue to supply bilingual Lock Box informational materials to CDCR for review and
subsequent distribution. After CDCR approval, JPay will distribute posters and flyers for each facility to
place in living units. Handouts can be placed into canteen bags as well as in visitation rooms and
facility lobbies. JPay's Lock Box services are already described on the CDCR homepage, along with a

and parolees’ family and friends regarding failure of transmittal of funds.

inmate inquiries and complaints within 24 hours of receipt.

Comply with all applicable California banking regulations.
To comply with all federal and state regulations, CDCR’s Lock Box provider must be licensed as a
money transmitter in California as well as every other applicable state in the USA where that provider
collects payments. If not, both the consumer and CDCR could be exposed to financial loss and fraud.
JPay has completed this licensing process across the country, so CDCR can be assured that they are in
safe hands having JPay as their Lock Box provider.

All of JPay’s services are administered through our secure, user-friendly web portal called the Facility

banking staff and investigators. One of the benefits of continuing to contract with JPay for Lock Box
services is that all CDCR inmate trust fund deposit information is consolidated into one centralized
reporting tool that provides details collected from all of JPay’s channels.

file will contain sender name, sender address and zip code, batch number, sequence number, mail
received date, dollar amount, inmate’s last name, inmate’s CDCR number and return-to-sender
reason code.

Since JPay manages the entire process for returning rejected items to senders, JPay maintains a log of
all rejected transactions to help JPay handle any customer inquiries regarding rejected transactions. If
CDCR determines that a particular set of data is needed at any point, JPay will provide it upon request.

2. Debit Card Services
a. Provide cost free Debit Card Services to CDCR for the issuance of Parole Release funds and personal
funds (Trust Funds) to Parolees. Services to include set-up and maintenance of accounts, training and
training materials, providing CDCR with web-based access to vendor program, debit card stock,
electronic and printed reports and all other materials, supplies, programs and interfaces required to
providing this service.

Program Overview
All cards and supplies needed to administer the program are provided by JPay at no cost to CDCR.
Each card comes inside of a sealed envelope and contains a cardholder Agreement and Disclosure
Statement that outlines the Terms and Conditions of the program. For security purposes, the card
number is never exposed. Instead, a unique identifier appears in the window of the envelope that
corresponds to the card.
JPay’s card program is nationally and internationally accepted at millions of locations worldwide.
Upon receipt of the card and without obtaining a PIN, the cardholder can use the card for signaturebased transactions. If the cardholder would like to make a PIN-based purchase or withdraw funds
from the ATM, the cardholder must first call JPay’s toll-free telephone number or go to the JPay.com
website to establish a PIN.
Cardholders can access their account information 24/7/365 via a toll-free telephone number and via
the JPay.com website. From the JPay website, cardholders can manage their account, review their
statement, add funds, request an additional card and update personal data.
JPay will send, at a minimum, three months of card stock inventory to each facility. JPay monitors
inventory volume at each facility and an alert triggers when a facility’s inventory reaches a
predetermined threshold. This system enables JPay to ship supplies without the facilities needing to
get involved.
Loading the Card
CDCR staff can load release cards via JPay’s online portal, the Facility System. Once the user
enters the offender’s ID# the system will pre-populate their name and date of birth (if provided
on the inmate data file sent daily). JPay requires the offender name, offender ID, date of birth
and load amount in order to load a card, which can be done in a few simple steps.

Performing a Card Action
After an offender is released, CDCR staff can still load additional funds (e.g. offender pay,
commissary credits) onto an offender’s card, modify an offender’s card or void an offender’s
card. All of these actions are performed via the Facility System.
Banking and Reporting
All funds corresponding to each day’s card loads are debited from CDCR’s bank account via an
Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit the following day or CDCR can credit JPay’s bank account
via ACH the following day. JPay provides ad hoc reporting for CDCR staff to look up daily, weekly,
monthly and quarterly reports for all card transactions.
Using the Card
Upon receipt of the card and without obtaining a PIN, the card will be available to be used for
signature-based transactions. To make a PIN-based purchase or withdraw funds from the ATM,
the cardholder must first call JPay’s toll free telephone number to establish a PIN. All first-time
callers speak with a live agent. Upon verification, the agent provides the cardholder with a PIN,
answers any questions or concerns regarding the card and informs the cardholder of the option
to upgrade to a personalized card.
Cardholders can access their account information 24/7/365 via a toll-free telephone number and
via the JPay.com website. From the JPay website, cardholders can manage their account, review
their statement, add funds, request an additional card and update personal data. Cardholders are
also given the option to receive daily text and email alerts. This lets the cardholder instantly know
their balance and transaction activity. This feature can be used to notify the cardholder if CDCR
staff loads additional funds onto the cardholder’s account.

Loading Funds onto the Card
In addition to CDCR’s ability to load funds onto the card, the cardholder has the ability to load
funds onto the card and use the card anywhere worldwide where MasterCard debit card is
accepted. The cardholder can have their paycheck deposited directly onto their card in addition
to going to thousands of locations to place funds on the card such as Western Union and PayPal.

b. Contractor is to provide to the CDCR client (inmate, parolee, ward) access to release and trust funds
through the use of a branded debit card at point-of-sale (POS) devices and automated teller machines
(ATMs) wherever the VISA and/or MasterCard logo (and/or the various network partners of Contractor,
Ex: Cirrus, Plus, Star) is accepted.
For POS purchases, JPay’s card program is accepted at millions of locations
worldwide through Cirrus, an interbank network operated by MasterCard.

nationwide deployment of JPay services, JPay is indeed a strong, financially sound company and is also
now backed by the substantial resources of our parent company, Securus Technologies. JPay presently
has a surety bond on file with the state of California as a licensed money transmitter with the
California Department of Business Oversight. All of these factors ensure that JPay has the financial
resources sufficient to complete performance under the contract.
For facility support, a dedicated team of Help Desk Analysts is on call to assist CDCR staff at all times.
Help Desk Analysts have completed the highest level of system training, enabling them to respond to
staff requests on the spot. Customer support is available 24/7 from our team of highly trained

can be applied to both user access as well as service control and reporting is comprehensive, and
creates the widest possible foundation for an agency to build a tailored solution set. These business
rules are configurable according to CDCR’s access and management needs.
User rights are highly customized for each CDCR staff member, though individual staff members with
similar rights can be granted identical levels of access simply by being added to a user group. When
creating a user, authorized CDCR staff can add that user to a group without having to individually
recreate permission sets for that user. Even if a user is assigned to a user group, administrators can
tailor that user’s permission levels and access.
