In the past, when inmates were released from jail, they would be given a check before being released back into society. Even though checks are a common means of transferring money, they do have their downsides. 20% of the population in the United States does not have a bank, therefore making it difficult for them to cash a check unless they choose to go to a check cashing location, which often will take out a large fee. According to the American Payroll Association, more than 4 million checks are lost each year and lost checks cost about $12 per check. According to the Nilson Report, paper checks cost jail facilities about $1.35 per check.
Using your EZCard Account
EZCardandKiosk.Com is a financial system that aims to make things easier for released inmates and the jail facilities that are responsible for them. Upon being released, inmates will receive a prepaid debit card that is loaded with their money. They can use this debit card to make purchases just like any other debit card. Money on the debit cards can also be used to pay bills. They can add more money to it whenever they want to, either online or at the kiosk.
When the kiosk is installed in the lobby of a jail facility, it acts as a system that keeps track of each inmate’s finances. Their money is electronically loaded onto their account. The system keeps track of all of the finances, which means that it saves time and money from the jail staff. Family members of the inmates are able to use the kiosk to load money onto their accounts or take money if they need it. These kiosks can even be used to post bail. In fact, if an inmate has enough money on their account, they will be able to post their own bail. This makes is a very convenient system that can be accessed 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
