How to Send Money to Muskingum County Jail, OH (OH)

Muskingum County Jail approves a few ways to add money to an inmate's commissary account. You can deposit online or through the Access Corrections app. There's also a kiosk in the MCSO Jail lobby, and the same system is available at 800+ kiosk locations nationwide. If you'd rather talk to someone, call a live agent at (866) 345-1884. One big heads-up: the jail specifically warns that jailchange.com is a scam. Do not use it for commissary deposits.

Timing matters. Inmates can purchase commissary on Sunday and Wednesday nights each week. Conn's Chips purchases happen on Monday and Thursday nights. The jail requires that money be in the inmate's account no later than 11:00pm on those nights. If you're sending funds the same day, give yourself plenty of cushion so the deposit posts before the cutoff.

1. Pick your deposit method: Use Access Corrections online or in the Access Corrections app, deposit through the kiosk (including the kiosk in the jail lobby or one of the 800+ kiosk locations), or call (866) 345-1884 to speak with a live agent.
2. Send money with the commissary cutoff in mind: If you want the funds available for commissary on Sunday or Wednesday night, make sure the money is in the inmate’s account by 11:00pm on the purchase night.
3. Double-check you used an approved channel: Stick to the listed options (Access Corrections, kiosk, or the live-agent phone line) so your money goes to the right place and can be used when commissary is offered.

What to Verify

• ✓ Confirm Access Corrections is still the approved online/mobile deposit option.
• ✓ Confirm where you can access the kiosk system (including the kiosk in the jail lobby and other kiosk locations) and whether it is available when you need it.
• ✓ Confirm the live-agent deposit/help line is still (866) 345-1884, and ask what hours live support is available.

• ✓ Confirm commissary purchase nights are still Sunday and Wednesday.
• ✓ If relevant for your person, confirm Conn’s Chips purchase nights are still Monday and Thursday.
• ✓ Confirm the cutoff time that money must be in the inmate’s account is still 11:00pm on purchase nights.

If a website or service claims it can send commissary money but isn't one of the jail's listed options, stop and verify before you pay. The jail has already flagged jailchange.com as a scam. When in doubt, contact the jail directly for their current approved deposit methods and stick to those.
