How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Summit County Jail processes inmate deposits through third-party vendors, not jail staff directly. Access Corrections offers options to send money, pay court-ordered obligations, post bail, and make parole or probation payments. The county also lists BridgePayment (513.486.4488, www.bridgepayment.com). You'll typically use a vendor portal, kiosk, or phone line, and you'll need the inmate's full name and ID number to complete the transaction. Some methods require creating an account or registering the recipient first. Expect convenience or processing fees for online, phone, and kiosk payments. Stick to the facility's approved payment options to avoid unofficial sites or scams.
