Sending Money to Someone at Wood County Jail: JailATM Limits, Payment Methods, and Timeline
Using JailATM to send money to someone at Wood County Jail? Here's what matters: the weekly deposit cap, which cards actually work, and what to do if funds don't show up.
JailATM handles money deposits for commissary and related purchases at Wood County Jail. The most important rule to know: deposits are capped at $300.00 per resident per calendar week, running Sunday through Saturday.
Note: Some limits and handling details can vary by facility. If something doesn’t line up with what you’re seeing for Wood County Jail, contact the jail to confirm the current rules.
The $300.00 weekly cap applies to the total amount received - not per transaction. Multiple smaller deposits from different senders all count toward that same $300 limit during each Sunday–Saturday window.
- ✓ The $300 limit resets on a calendar week schedule: Sunday through Saturday.
- ✓ Multiple deposits (even from different senders) still count toward the same $300 weekly cap for that resident.
- ✓ If you hit the limit, you’ll need to wait until the next Sunday–Saturday week begins before additional deposits can go through.
- ✓ If you’re told a different cap applies for Wood County Jail, confirm the current limit directly with the facility.
JailATM accepts Visa and MasterCard only. Prepaid cards won't work. If your payment keeps getting declined, make sure you're using a standard credit or debit card from one of those networks.
Your JailATM account needs a Social Security Number on file before you can send money. If that info is missing, deposits will be blocked until you complete your account setup.
Deposits typically post within 24–48 hours. If you're timing a deposit around commissary day, don't wait until the last minute - build that processing window into your plan.
- Wait for the normal processing window - Most deposits post within 24–48 hours of processing.
- Contact the facility if the deposit is still missing - If it’s not there after 24–48 hours, contact the facility immediately to initiate an investigation.
- Escalate after the facility’s review period - If the facility can’t resolve the issue after 72 business hours, JailATM/Tech Friends will investigate the missing deposit.
Heads up: 24–48 hours is the normal window, not a guarantee. If money doesn't arrive, contact the facility first. JailATM/Tech Friends only steps in to investigate after 72 business hours if the facility can't resolve it.
All transactions and commissary purchases are final - refunds aren't typically available. If something seems wrong with a deposit, contact the facility immediately. Waiting only makes it harder to fix.
