It's pretty hard to get info on the industry as well.
Jpay, for example, is a subsidiary of a private company, and does the "fund a prisoners commissary account" as well as "send a prisoner a email" type services.
Here's their fees for money transfers for the Texas Prisoners:
$ 0.00 - 9.99 $2.45
$ 10.00 - 19.99 $3.45
$ 20.00 - 49.99 $6.45
$ 50.00 - 99.99 $8.45
$ 100.00 - 199.99 $10.45
$ 200.00 - 300.00 $12.45
They also charge it as a cash advance, which
can result in additional charges from your bank.
