JPAY ENDING- GTL Beginning- JULY 1st, 2022

CDCR has ended their contract for email and video service with JPAY as of July 1, 2022.

GTL is the NEW vendor.  YOU MUST SET UP A GTL  ACCOUNT, AND ADD ALL OF THE PEOPLE  YOU WISH TO BE IN TOUCH WITH TO YOUR GTL “CONTACTS” LIST  to continue to make telephone, and video calls, and email messages.

After June 30th 2022, JPAY no longer has a contract with CDCr.  The new email, phone and video call service will be through GTL – gettingout.com.

Every person in California state prisons is supposed to get free tablets from CDCr after July 1st, 2022 and should also be able to access kiosks for email. We know things rarely go as planned, so be prepared if you are unable to email your correspondent right after July 1.  

Anyone who wants to save  information–photos, messages, etc.– from existing JPAY accounts must save it before July 1st.  You can cut, paste, and save into an email, a Word Doc, or other text program.  After June 30th you will NOT be able to access your old JPAY account.

TO SET UP YOUR NEW ACCOUNT, GO TO:  gettingout.com
