How to Send Money to Ross Correctional Institution (OH)

Getting money to someone at Ross Correctional Institution means using the approved mail processing route. Visitors cannot deliver money directly, and cash is prohibited on ODRC facility grounds. Don't bring cash to the institution or expect to pass funds during a visit.

Ross routes personal mail through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Mail Processing Center. Letters and cards go to the ODRC Mail Processing Center (OMPC) at 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505, not directly to the prison.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Don’t try to hand money to an incarcerated person during a visit. Money must be processed through the mail per policy.
• ✓ Don’t bring cash onto ODRC facility grounds.
• ✓ Send letters and cards through OMPC: ODRC Mail Processing Center (OMPC), 884 Coitsville-Hubbard Road, Youngstown, Ohio 44505.

• ✓ For tablet repair payments, mail the payment with the deposit form to ViaPath Technologies, PO Box 3023, Houston, TX 77253.

Before mailing anything money-related, confirm the current deposit requirements for Ross and the ODRC Mail Processing Center. The policy is clear that you cannot deliver money in person, but it doesn't specify which payment instruments are accepted, whether special forms are required (outside tablet repairs), or how long processing takes. For tablet repairs, verify that ViaPath Technologies, PO Box 3023, Houston, TX 77253 is still the correct address and that you're including the required deposit form.
