How to Send Money to Allen County Jail, OH (OH)

The Corrections Division at Allen County Jail manages all inmate funds. If you want to add money for commissary or other approved uses, follow their process directly rather than guessing at a payment method.

The Corrections Division also runs both in-person and video visitation. That matters because some jails tie deposit options to visitation procedures. Ask how deposits are currently handled when you call.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Start with the Corrections Division, since it handles inmate funds.
• ✓ Contact Lieutenant Mat Johnson (Inmate Services) at 419-223-8573 or johnsonma@acso-oh.us and ask for the exact steps to send money to someone at Allen County Jail.
• ✓ If you are trying to post bond (not add spending money), go to window 3 in the Sheriff’s Office lobby. Bond posting is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for eligible inmates.

When you call or email, have the incarcerated person's name ready. Explain whether you want to add funds or post bond. Ask for the approved deposit options and any details needed so the money gets credited correctly.

Before sending money, verify the details that trip people up: which payment types are accepted, whether there are fees, deposit limits, and what hours apply for non-bond transactions. Inmate services can confirm these rules since the Corrections Division handles all funds.

Bond has its own process at Allen County Jail. The Sheriff's Office lobby window 3 accepts bond posting 24/7 for eligible inmates, but that doesn't mean other deposits work the same way. If you're not posting bond, ask whether window 3 handles your deposit or if there's a different process.

Allen County allows both in-person and video visitation. Ask whether visitation procedures affect money options. For instance, some deposit steps might be tied to in-person visits, or all funds might go through the Corrections Division's standard process.
