How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
At Toledo Correctional Institution, only approved visitors can deposit funds to an incarcerated person. Deposits must go through approved ODRC processes, not handed directly to the individual. You also can't deliver money, packages, correspondence, or printed materials in person. Everything goes through the facility's mail and deposit procedures. Before sending money, have the incarcerated person's full name and ID number ready. Confirm the facility's approved deposit channels so you don't fall for a scam. Common deposit options include online services, phone payments, lobby kiosks, or approved retail locations. Most vendors charge convenience or processing fees, and amounts vary.
