How to Send Money to Southern Ohio C.F., OH (OH)

At Southern Ohio C.F., an incarcerated person can designate one person to submit a visitation application for the specific purpose of depositing money into their account. This designated visitor cannot be a victim of the incarcerated person's current or past crimes.

Being selected doesn't mean automatic approval. The designated visitor still needs to submit a visitation application and get approved under facility policy before they can deposit any funds.

Note: Payment methods, fees, deposit limits, and processing times aren't covered here. Contact the facility directly to confirm the current process before sending money.
