Four ways to put money on an inmate's account at Belmont County Jail — and the commissary deadlines
Getting money onto an inmate's account is straightforward once you know your options — and the cutoff times that actually matter. Here's how to deposit funds at Belmont County Jail and when the money needs to land to count for commissary.
Belmont County Jail accepts four deposit methods: the lobby kiosk (cash in five-dollar bills or higher, or card), mailed money orders payable to the inmate, and electronic deposits through Access Corrections.
The sheriff's office lobby has a kiosk where you can deposit money in person. It's the quickest option if you're nearby.
- ✓ Cash (five-dollar bills or higher)
- ✓ Debit and/or credit cards
Bring a valid ID - a driver's license or state ID card works. The jail requires it for kiosk deposits.
You can also mail a money order. Make it payable to the inmate - otherwise it won't be accepted.
Prefer to handle it online? Access Corrections lets you deposit electronically without visiting the lobby or mailing anything.
Commissary runs twice a week at Belmont County Jail: Tuesdays and Fridays. The cutoffs below determine whether your deposit counts in time.
For Tuesday commissary, the money must be on the account by Monday at 7:00 A.M. Anything deposited after that cutoff may not count until Friday.
For Friday commissary, the deadline is Thursday at 7:00 A.M. Miss that window and the funds roll to the next cycle.
