How soon after sending my inmate money do they receive it?
I sent money through touch pay direct, which Salem County Jail told me to use. Do you how long it takes to go on the account and will the inmate be notified or receive a receipt notifying him there is money on his account?

Electronic transfers normally hit the inmate's account the very same day.
