How to Send Money to Mansfield Correctional Institution (OH)
Sending money to someone at Mansfield Correctional Institution is straightforward once you know the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) rules, particularly the approval requirements and the strict ban on bringing cash into the facility.
Money deposits at Mansfield Correctional Institution must go through the approved ODRC process, and only approved visitors can make them. If you're not on the person's approved visitor list, you likely won't be able to deposit funds through the standard process. Confirm your status before trying to send anything.
Note: Do not bring cash into the facility. Cash is treated as a conveyance violation, and attempting to bring it in can create serious problems during your visit.
Sending a payment for tablet repair or other ViaPath-related tablet services? Those payments are restricted to money orders and cashier's checks only.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Confirm you are an approved visitor before you plan to deposit funds.
- ✓ Send money using the approved ODRC process for deposits to an incarcerated person’s account.
- ✓ Keep cash out of the facility. Do not bring it with you when you visit.
- ✓ If you are paying for tablet repair or other ViaPath tablet-related costs, use a money order or a cashier’s check (other payment types are not accepted).
Before sending funds, confirm with Mansfield Correctional Institution or ODRC which deposit options are currently approved and what they require. The most important thing to check: whether your visitor approval status is already on file. Only approved visitors can deposit funds through the standard ODRC process.
Planning to visit the institution in person? Double-check the current list of prohibited items before you leave home. Cash is explicitly prohibited and treated as a conveyance issue. Leave it in a secure place and bring only what the rules allow.
For tablet repair payments connected to ViaPath services, verify that the facility still limits payments to money orders and cashier's checks. Also confirm where to send the payment and what information to include so it gets credited correctly.
