NJDOC Transition to ViaPath Technologies
Beginning in March 2025, the NJDOC will gradually transition existing services from JPAY to ViaPath Technologies. This change aims to improve the efficiency, services, security, and overall communications and financial transactions between love ones and incarcerated persons, including the enhanced communications, access to technology, and improved family connections for the incarcerated population in state correctional facilities.
