Hawaii families use YardLink across 2 facilities — covering Hawaii Department of Public Safety (HI-DPS) sites on Oahu in Honolulu and on the Big Island in Aiea. JPay and Securus charge per-message stamp fees that add up fast when loved ones are far from home; YardLink cuts those costs to zero so families in Honolulu, Hawaii County, and Maui County can write every day without buying credits or stamps.
