The JPay stamps in Florida have been incredibly expensive compared to other States, the cheapest being Washington State. Until today, we could buy stamps in any State we had a contact in (for example I had a pen pal in Washington State so I was buying my stamps there) and we could use those stamps with any of our contacts (so I would mostly use them on my husband in Florida, and occasionally with my pen pal in Louisiana). I was buying A LOT of stamps because I am also sending a lot of videos of the baby during this pandemic, and in Florida (again this is different in every state) a 30 sec video is 4 virtual stamps. Now the stamps we buy in one State can only be use in one State. That means if I want to write one email to each of my contacts, I have to buy stamps package in all the States (-_-). But to be honest I mostly use my stamps on one person (Florida), and now I probably won’t be able to afford to write as much or send videos. I guess this is a personal issue but I know numerous families are in the same boat. Right now we have no visits, video visitation doesn’t seem to work for those we have access to it, they are planning to kill the regular mail and now most people won’t be able to afford emails… FDOC is going completely backwards trying to cut the incarcerated people from their outside support. This is terrible.
And in Washington:
