How to Send Money to Mahoning County Jail (OH)
Sending money to someone at Mahoning County Jail comes down to two things: adding funds to their commissary account and setting up phone funding so you can stay in touch.
Money you add to someone's books at Mahoning County Jail goes into their inmate account. They can spend that balance on commissary items like snacks, hygiene products, and other basics.
Note: Funds left on an account with the jail's current telephone provider will not transfer to a new provider. If you have money sitting with the current provider, contact them directly to request a refund.
If you’re deciding how much to add, keep this in mind: when the person is released, the remaining balance in their inmate account is returned to them.
