How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Southern Ohio C.F. lets an incarcerated person choose one non-victim to receive a visit application for placing money on their account. That person still must be approved before depositing funds. In practice, deposits go through approved third-party options like online portals, phone payments, mobile apps, or lobby kiosks. You won't hand cash directly to staff. To send money, you'll generally need the inmate's full name and ID number. Some services require you to set up an account or register before paying. Expect convenience or processing fees on phone, online, and kiosk deposits since vendors set their own pricing. Stick to the facility's approved deposit channels to avoid unofficial sites or scams.
