How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money to an inmate's account at Medina County Jail using JPAY.com, the JPAY mobile app, or the kiosk in the Medina County Sheriff Office lobby. Deposits go into the inmate's trust or commissary account. Inmates typically use these funds for commissary purchases, phone time, hygiene items, or facility charges. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready when you pay. If you're trying to cover phone costs specifically, prepaid options like Securus AdvanceConnect let you add funds to a Securus Debit account for calling services at this location. Do not send checks, money orders, packages, or certified mail to the Digital Mail Center. Those items aren't accepted and will be returned. Fees may apply and vary by provider.
