How to Put Money on an Inmate's Commissary Account at Muskingum County Jail

Muskingum County Jail approves three ways to put money on an inmate's commissary account: Access Corrections (online or through the Access Corrections App), a deposit kiosk in the jail lobby, and a live-agent phone option. Stick to those three. The jail has specifically warned that jailchange.com is a scam site, so don't use it for deposits.

For online deposits, the jail directs you to Access Corrections. You can send money from your phone using the Access Corrections App, or go to www.accesscorrections.com on a computer.

• ✓ Use the commissary deposit kiosk located in the lobby of the Muskingum County Jail.
• ✓ Have the inmate’s identifying information ready so you can select the right person.
• ✓ Bring a payment method the kiosk accepts.
• ✓ Double-check the inmate selection and the deposit amount before you submit.
• ✓ Save your receipt or confirmation information in case you need to follow up later.

1. Call the live-agent line at (866) 345-1884.
2. Tell the agent who you are trying to fund and provide the inmate’s information as requested.
3. Confirm the deposit details (amount and any other prompts) before you authorize the transaction.
4. Write down your confirmation or any reference number you are given so you can track the deposit if there is a problem later.

Commissary purchases at Muskingum County Jail are processed on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights. Conn's Chips purchases run on a separate schedule: Monday nights and Thursday nights. If you're trying to get money in place for a specific purchase night, time your deposit accordingly.

Depositing from home? Access Corrections is the jail's approved online option (both the Access Corrections App and the Access Corrections website work). If you're local and prefer handling things in person, there's a kiosk in the jail lobby. And if you'd rather talk to someone, or you're running into issues online, the live-agent phone line is another approved way to make a deposit.

• ✓ Use Access Corrections if you want to make an online deposit through the app or at www.accesscorrections.com.
• ✓ Use the lobby kiosk if you are able to go to the Muskingum County Jail and prefer an in-person option.
• ✓ Call (866) 345-1884 if you want a live agent to walk you through the deposit.

If a deposit doesn't show up as expected, start by checking the method you used. For Access Corrections deposits, pull up your confirmation details there first. If you need to talk to a person, call the live-agent line at (866) 345-1884.

For general questions, the jail’s posted number is (740) 455-7133.
