The Deal, In Plain English

How a deal with Done Deal Digital works

No fine print, no royalty cut, no surprises. You bring the music — we get it selling — and you keep 100%. Here's exactly how.

You keep 100%

We make our money on the service — getting your music distributed, compliant, and live. Never on your royalties. Every dollar your music earns is yours.

Step by Step

How prison music distribution works, step by step

The whole path, start to finish.

1

You bring your music

Your masters (WAV) and cover art — or let us make a kiosk-safe cover for you. Plus a one-line confirmation that you own the music.

2

We make it compliant & route it

We scrub the metadata, check the artwork against the rules, and route it correctly so it actually lands — the part that silently blocks most artists. (Want to learn it yourself? That's the $97 guide.)

3

It goes live inside

Your release appears on JPay, GTL/ViaPath, and the federal kiosks — in front of 1.6M+ listeners across 2,000+ facilities who actually pay for music.

4

It sells

People inside buy it at iTunes-style rates — about $7 an album, $0.70 a track. The facility's fees are paid by the buyer, not taken from you.

5

The networks report & pay

Royalties come back on a delay (often a couple of months) — steady, recurring back-catalog income rather than a launch-week spike.

6

You get 100% + a statement

We forward every dollar of your royalties and show you what sold. Your music, your money — we just run the machine.

Why Done Deal Digital

The team that does this for a living

Three decades in the Bay, deep in the music business. We're not a faceless upload portal — we're the people who navigate the prison networks every week, and we stand behind the work: if a release gets blocked for something we controlled, we fix and resubmit free.
