How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Franklin County uses the Keefe Commissary Network for deposits. Your options: lobby kiosks, AccessCorrections.com, the Keefe mobile app, CashPayToday retail cash deposits, or Keefe's 24/7 phone line. Four Keefe kiosks are available around the clock—two at James A. Karnes Corrections Center (2551 Fisher Road) and two at Franklin County Corrections Center II (2460 Jackson Pike) near the visitor entrances. For online deposits, select Franklin County Jail, OH and enter the recipient's full name or Sheriff's Office ID. Creating or editing an account requires phone and email verification. CashPayToday works by generating a barcode you show at participating retailers. All deposits carry handling fees, and limits vary by method. One important note: sending more than $2,000 within 10 days can trigger an investigative inquiry, so verify limits before you send.
