Is JPay Email Censored?
You have to know that all correspondence including the attachments are reviewed by facility officials before the inmate can see them. The content may be censored based upon each agency’s rules and regulations. So, we are able to say that JPay Email is censored.
On a forum, we have found someone who asks about JPay pictures restrictions.
Here is a post:

Recently, I started sending for an inmate. He asked me if I could send him several pictures of women in bikinis. Particularly I saw no issue and tried to send it by using JPay. Then, my email came back explaining it had been censored. By the way, what are the picture restrictions in JPay? How can I send him such pictures? What kind of sexy pictures can be sent?
Here are some answers for that case:

Simply, we are able to say that Jpay is only the mailman. Usually, it depends on the facility if it is accepted or not. Several facilities allow bikini pictures or even nudes, several do not even receive a picture showing a bare shoulder. For this case, you have to check the rules for your pen pal’s facility to know what you are allowed to send. By the way, if your loved ones are in Texas, the attachments you send are printed in black and white on plain paper. The quality is very bad. So, it is very useless to send any pictures that way. Probably, it goes for other states too, however I only use JPay for my loved one in Texas so I cannot tell you about any other states. It is best to print pictures on photo paper and then send them by snail mail.

You are able to send anything you like by JPay. The issue is up to the mailroom at the facility to determine whether they want to deliver it. If your photos break the rules of the prison you are sending them, then they are going to be rejected at that facility. Even, you may not get any response at all. In this case, you will have wasted a stamp and still not have sent anything. Please read the rules for the mailroom at the facility you are sending the pictures.

Picture restrictions are the same for sending mail to the prison. Jpay has the rules more tightly then the facility. However, you have to check the facility guidelines before you send mail. Several states will not allow any pictures that depict women scantily glad in bikini. Also, if these pictures were random women with bikinis, it might be that JPay cannot confirm who the person is and whether you have permission to send their pictures. Or it could be that your loved ones are not allowed such pictures as he may not trade them for contraband. So, it is a security problem.
