If someone you love is locked up, this is how music actually reaches them — and how we get your family's music heard inside, the honest way.
The Honest Truth
People inside listen on tablets and kiosks run by JPay, ViaPath (formerly GTL), and Securus. There's a music store built right into the tablet — and you can load money onto your person's account so they can buy from it. The catch: that store only carries music that's already been loaded into the prison system the right way. You can't push a song straight from the outside — it has to be in the system first.
JPay, ViaPath & Securus run a music store on the facility tablets — like an iTunes for inside. About $7 an album, $0.70 a track.
You can put money on your loved one's account from the outside, and they buy music from what's available on the tablet.
The store only sells what's been distributed into the prison system properly. Getting a specific artist's music in there is a separate step — and that's what we do.
Where We Come In
If your loved one inside is an artist — or your family has music you want heard in there — that's exactly what Done Deal Digital does. We get an independent artist's music onto the prison kiosks (JPay, ViaPath & the federal network) so the people inside can find it, buy it, and play it. The artist keeps 100%. The facility's fee is paid by the buyer — never taken from your cut.
No Lies, No Fine Print
We'll never sell you a yes we can't give. The facilities approve or reject what goes on their tablets — that's their call, not ours, and no honest service can promise otherwise. What we do promise: we do the work right, submit it clean and compliant, and send you the proof when your music is live — the confirmation, the date, the receipt. We'd rather lose the sale than sell you a lie.

How it works →Real Questions
People inside listen on tablets from JPay, ViaPath (formerly GTL), or Securus, with a music store built in. You can load money onto your person's account so they can buy music — but they can only buy what's already been loaded into the prison system the right way. You can't push a song directly from the outside.
Yes. That's our service. Done Deal Digital gets an independent artist's music onto the prison kiosks so the people inside can find it, buy it, and play it — and the artist keeps 100%.
No — and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being straight. The tablet store only sells what's already in the prison system. You can buy what's available there for your person, but to add a specific artist's music, it has to be distributed into the system first. That's the part we handle for independent artists.
On the prison side, music runs about $7 an album or $0.70 a track, and the buyer pays that — the artist keeps 100%. Getting an artist's music into the system is our distribution service: the $97 do-it-yourself guide, or done-for-you from $149.99.
Usually a couple of weeks after a correct submission — about 14 business days through the main pipeline. We never promise a facility says yes, but we submit it clean and show you the proof when it's live.
Get your family's music onto the kiosks the right way — done for you, or do it yourself with the guide.
