JPay Builds the First Pink-Colored Tablet and Accessories for Prisons, Creating an Opportunity for Inmates to Support the Fight Against Breast Cancer

The pink-colored JP5s 7" tablet comes with all the bells and whistles as the clear model, including music, games, education, email  and much more so inmates can stay connected with their loved ones! However, the pink model physically symbolizes an inmate's support in the fight against breast cancer, demonstrating that even while serving time, offenders can play a role in eradicating diseases and positively participate in the community.  

"Sadly, it's rare to meet someone who has not been affected by breast cancer, which is why we felt compelled to create the opportunity for inmates to participate in the fight against the disease," said Errol Feldman, CEO of JPay. "For inmates, the pink-colored tablet and cases are tangible representations of their passion for the cause, something they own and use every day, not just a simple receipt from a monetary donation.  It means something more."

The pink-colored tablets are priced the same as clear tablets, however JPay will donate $10.00 to the American Cancer Society – Making Strides Against Breast Cancer for every pink-colored tablet purchase, as well as a $3.00 donation for every pink-colored tablet case.

"We feel very fortunate to have been selected as the beneficiary of this creative initiative," said Margarita Orta, Senior Market Manager, Community Engagement for the American Cancer Society. "This effort allows inmates to give back and help others regardless of their state and limitations.  We all have a role in the fight against breast cancer and together we are stronger than cancer."
