How does selling on JPay compare to Spotify?
+
On Spotify, you earn roughly $2-4 per 1,000 streams. On JPay, singles sell for $1.99 each. If 1,000 people download your song, that's $2,000 in revenue. The math isn't even close. Spotify pays fractions of a cent per play. JPay pays per download because incarcerated listeners actually purchase your music outright. There's no free tier, no ad-supported model. Every play is a paid download. For independent artists, this is the most direct path to revenue from your music.
How does INDULTA help with promotion?
+
Every artist, author, or podcaster who distributes through us gets featured in INDULTA Magazine. The magazine reaches over 1 million readers across 500+ correctional facilities in 43 states. Your content is promoted directly to the audience that will purchase it. This isn't social media marketing where you're fighting for attention. This is putting your name and work in front of a captive audience actively looking for new content.
How long does it take to get my content on kiosks?
+
It depends on the kiosk operator. JPay: typically 14-30 days from submission. Securus and GTL: typically 30-60 days, varies by facility and content type. Corrlinks (Federal Bureau of Prisons): added to the monthly catalog drop on the 17th, so the exact date depends on when in the cycle we submit. We'll notify you as soon as your content is live on each platform.
Does it have to be a new song?
+
No. Your existing songs, albums, books, and podcast episodes can all be released on JPay and other prison kiosks. There's no requirement for new or exclusive content. If you already have a catalog, you can start distributing it immediately.
What's the refund policy?
+
If we fail to submit your content to the kiosk operator within 14 business days of receiving everything we need from you, you receive a full refund. No questions asked. (Once submitted, the live date is set by the kiosk operator's own review cycle, which varies by platform - see the timeline question above.)
How do I get paid?
+
Royalties are paid monthly via your choice of PayPal, Wire Transfer, ACH, or CashApp. You choose the payment method when you sign up, and you can change it at any time.
When will I get paid?
+
Royalty payments begin 60-90 days after your content goes live on the platforms. This is because kiosk providers have their own reporting and payment cycles. After the initial period, payments are made monthly.
How are royalties collected?
+
We collect royalties directly from the kiosk providers (JPay, Securus, GTL, Corrlinks). You receive 80% of publishing royalties. The remaining 20% covers our ongoing distribution, maintenance, and promotion through the magazine.
Does DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby distribute to JPay?
+
No. DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and other mainstream music distributors do not distribute to JPay, Securus, GTL, or any prison kiosk platform. These platforms require a separate distribution relationship, which is exactly what INDULTA provides.
Does prisonkiosk.net distribute music to JPay?
+
No. prisonkiosk.net does not distribute music or any content to JPay. They sell an outdated guide. INDULTA is an actual distribution service that submits your content directly to the kiosk platforms.
