JPAY JP5s and JP5mini

October is National Breast Cancer Month, and JPay is excited to announce a campaign that gives incarcerated individuals the opportunity to support the fight against a disease that takes thousands of lives each year. Starting today, JPay is offering limited edition pink-colored JP5s (7”) tablets and pink protective tablet cases for purchase in select facilities. These items are available in North Dakota, Washington and Ohio prisons, as well as North Lake Correctional Facility in Michigan. Pink products will be delivered in October as a symbol of your loved one’s commitment to the cause. JPay will donate $10 for every pink-colored JP5s (7") tablet and $3 for each pink protective tablet case to the American Cancer Society – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (product pricing varies by state). You can buy the pink-colored JP5s (7") tablets on JPay.com or your loved ones can purchase them on the JPay kiosks in their living units, using funds from their JPay media accounts. The pink cases are only available for purchase by inmates through the JPay kiosks. Please note that North Dakota customers are not able to purchase the tablets on JPay.com or fund media accounts.

Why it worked

The video taps into curiosity about the lives of incarcerated individuals and the technology used within correctional facilities. The contrast between a familiar device (tablet) and its restricted, specialized use case creates intrigue, while the low price point and the creator's call to action for a "try it out" video encourage engagement.

Summary

The video showcases a specialized tablet designed for prisoners, known as the JPAY JP5 and JP5mini. It highlights the limited functionalities available on these devices, such as communication, media consumption, and educational content, while emphasizing the restrictions compared to regular tablets, like no internet browsing or app installation.

Product placement

JPAY JP5s and JP5mini: These are tablets designed for correctional facilities. They ACT as a communication and entertainment device for inmates, allowing them to send messages, photos, videos, listen to music, read ebooks, play games, watch movies, access educational content, and read news feeds. They APPEAR as the primary device shown in the video and are the subject of the discussion. Removing them would change the entire video. JPAY: This is the service/platform that powers the tablets. It ACTS as the system that enables the tablets' functions. Removing it would mean the tablets couldn't perform their intended functions. It APPEARS as a login prompt on the tablet screen and is mentioned in the text overlay. Removing it would change the video's context.

Transcript

This right here is a tablet that they give to prisoners that are serving their time in jail. But what can it actually do? This thing is called the JPAY JP5 and JP5mini, and there's a couple different variants. It's basically a tablet that's meant for prisoners and it is not like a normal tablet. The thing is, what it can actually do is dependent on which state you're in. Certain states allow certain things on the tablets. But the typical capabilities include this. The system can send electronic messages. It can send and receive photos, even sometimes videos. It can listen to music, read ebooks, play games. You can actually watch movies or videos on this. You can access educational content. You can read news feeds. You can store like basic photos and stuff. And some facilities even allow them to make phone calls. But here's the thing is, here's all the things that they cannot do with a tablet like this. You cannot browse the internet. You can't use Google Chrome normally. You cannot install apps. You can't use Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit or anything. You can't connect to the Wi-Fi. You can't message anybody unmonitored. So yeah, there's a lot of things you're not allowed to do on this tablet. But it's a lot better than having nothing. These things are pretty cheap. I looked on the internet, you can get one for like 50 bucks. So if this video gets 10,000 likes, I'll buy out a prison tablet and try it out.
