Send Money at Stark County Jail

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

To add money for someone at Stark County Jail, you'll typically use an approved third-party deposit system: an online portal, mobile app, phone line, or lobby kiosk. In most cases, you can't hand cash directly to jail staff. Funds go into the person's inmate account (not their personal belongings) and are typically used for commissary purchases, phone time, hygiene items, or to pay fees and court-ordered obligations. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready, since deposits commonly require both. Some methods also require you to create an account or register the recipient first. Processing and convenience fees are common and vary by vendor, so stick to the jail's approved channels to avoid unofficial or scam sites.
