Dropping Off Clothes and Medications at Ohio County Jail: hours, packaging, and allowed items
Bringing clothing or prescription medications to someone at Ohio County Detention Center? The rules are straightforward, but packaging details matter. Here are the hours, allowed clothing items, and how to prep everything so it gets accepted.
Family and friends can bring approved clothing items to Ohio County Detention Center. Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. only, so you'll need to plan a weekday trip.
Packaging requirement: All clothing must be new and in the original, unopened packaging. If the package has been opened, staff can reject the item on the spot.

- ✓ Six (6) pairs of white socks
- ✓ Six (6) pairs of white underwear
- ✓ Six (6) white t-shirts
Those are the approved clothing items you can bring. One rule applies across the board: everything needs to be new, and each package must be original and unopened when you hand it over.
Prescription medications follow different rules than clothing. You can drop off prescribed medications at any time (24/7/365).
The medication must be in its proper container with an unaltered label. It also has to be prescribed to the specific inmate you're bringing it for. The name on the label needs to match that person as the patient.
- Keep clothing factory-sealed. Bring only new items that are still in the original, unopened packaging.
- Bring medication in its original container. Use the proper container and make sure the label has not been altered.
- Confirm the prescription name matches the inmate. The medication must be prescribed to that inmate (the label should show them as the patient).
Avoid common rejections: Don't open clothing packages, and don't alter medication labels. Staff enforce both of these at drop-off, and items that don't meet the requirements will be turned away.
