Are JPay Tablets Available to Inmates at Garner CI?

JPay tablets are available to inmates at Garner Correctional Institution. The rollout of tablets across facilities has happened gradually over the past few years, and Garner is among the facilities where the program is in place.

JPay tablets give inmates access to music, games, educational content, and in many facilities the ability to send and receive electronic messages through the JPay email system. The tablets are purchased by the inmate through commissary, and the cost varies. Messaging through JPay requires the outside party to set up a JPay account as well, which is straightforward and can be done on JPay's website.

If your husband has not yet been able to access the tablet program, the best first step is for him to ask his counselor or case manager about current availability and how to purchase one through commissary. Availability and specific features can vary even within the same facility depending on housing unit and security level.
