I want to be outraged by JPAY but I can't be. 47 cents per email seems like a lot but it's not. Consider a typical home situation, Spectrum charges $50 a month just to get internet service that does not include the hardware, maintenance, taxes and who knows what else. Divide service cost by .47 cents and that works out to something like 100 emails. I know for a fact that I don't send that many emails a month. So, in reality, I would be paying more than that per email. Sure, I use the internet for other purposes so I'm ok with it. JPAY has to deal with all the fixed costs of setting up the internet connections plus ongoing maintenance. There are only a few information services that society wants prisoners to use in prison since all prisoners have been proven to be untrustworthy. Email is one of the few so JPay has to charge high rates just to get a return on their investment. I'm not crying for them since they are making a good return. I don't like the situation but the alternative is no e-mail. It's obvious prisons don't want the responsibility of providing it and private companies want a high return for doing it. Like it or not JPAY is providing a service that wouldn't exist otherwise. 47 cents per email is high but it's acceptable given the alternative.
