Four Ways to Put Money on an Inmate's Account at Belmont County Jail (kiosk, mail, Access Corrections)

Belmont County Jail runs commissary twice a week: Tuesdays and Fridays. That schedule is why deposit timing matters just as much as the deposit method. For Tuesday commissary, funds must be on the account by Monday at 7:00 A.M. For Friday commissary, the deadline is Thursday at 7:00 A.M. If you're trying to help someone place an order for the next commissary day, plan your deposit around those two cutoffs.

Want to deposit money in person? There's a kiosk in the sheriff's office lobby. This is the on-site option for adding funds directly to an inmate's account. It works well if you're local and prefer handling the deposit face-to-face rather than mailing something or using an online service.

• ✓ Cash (five-dollar bills or higher)
• ✓ Debit cards
• ✓ Credit cards

Belmont County Jail accepts money orders by mail. Make the money order payable to the inmate so it gets credited to the right account.

You can add money electronically through Access Corrections at AccessCorrections.com. Belmont County Jail lists this as their online deposit option.
