How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To add money to someone's account at Medina County Jail, use JPAY.com, the JPAY mobile app, or the kiosk in the Medina County Sheriff Office lobby. Funds can be used for commissary purchases and phone time. If someone has cash during intake, it goes into their inmate account after booking is completed—they won't get it handed back. Stick to the facility's approved deposit channels to avoid vendor restrictions or scams. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready. Expect convenience or processing fees from third-party vendors; amounts vary by provider.
