Phone & Video Call Costs at Holmes County Jail — Rates, Payment Options, and Who to Call for Help
At Holmes County Jail, families typically run into two ways to cover communication costs: Direct Pay (PIN/debit) and the InmateSales App. The big difference for most people is how charges show up on your end. InmateSales App calls are $0.20 per minute and they’re not taxed, which can make the total easier to predict. Direct Pay is another option used for calls, but taxes and certain deposit-related fees may apply where applicable, so the final cost can be a little higher than the per-minute number alone.

What to Bring (and Not Bring) to a Visit at Holmes County Jail
Visiting someone at Holmes County Jail goes a lot smoother when you show up with the right basics and leave everything else behind. You’ll need a photo I.D. to visit, and staff can turn visitors away for inappropriate dress, inappropriate behavior or language, or if you arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Plan your timing carefully. Holmes County Jail follows minimum jail standards that give each inmate 30 minutes of visitation per week total (not 30 minutes per visitor), and you must arrive at least 30 minutes before the end of the scheduled visitation time to get your full visit. One more rule that catches families off guard: anyone under 18 is not permitted to visit. The jail also notes that children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult in the lobby waiting area. Finally, keep your hands free—no cell phones, cameras, electronic devices, purses, or bags are permitted in the visitation area.

Visitation
Holmes County Jail allows a total of 30 minutes of visitation per inmate per week. That's the total time for the inmate, not per visitor, and up to four visitors can attend during that scheduled slot. Bring a valid photo ID or you won't be admitted. Arrive at least 30 minutes before the visitation period ends so you can get your full allotted time. No one under 18 is allowed to participate in visits. Children can wait in the lobby if supervised, but they cannot join the visit itself. Before your first visit, complete the Ohio visitation application forms, wait for facility approval, then register and schedule through the facility's visitation portal or approved vendor.

Video visit payments at Holmes County Jail go through InmateSales. Head to inmatesales.com, create an account or log in, purchase minutes, then schedule your visit in the portal. Sending money to an inmate works differently. Funds are typically added to their trust or commissary account through approved third-party deposit methods, not handed to staff. Depending on what the jail allows, you may be able to deposit through an online portal, phone line, mobile app, lobby kiosk, or approved retail cash option. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready, and you may need to register the recipient first. Convenience or processing fees are common for phone, online, and kiosk deposits, so confirm the approved channels and fee amounts before sending money.
