What Is Digital Mail?
Digital mail is the electronic delivery of letters and photos to inmates through approved platforms, either by family uploading content directly through a service like JPay or Pigeonly, or through a mail scanning system that converts physical mail into digital format. Digital mail is delivered to inmate tablets or kiosk terminals. Services like Pigeonly and TextBehind allow families to send digital messages that are printed and delivered as physical letters.
A family uses JPay to send a digital letter and three attached photos to their loved one at a state prison. The message appears on the inmate's JPay tablet within 24 hours after staff review.
