Indiana Prison Communication Directory

Indiana's correctional system is organized around the Indiana Department of Correction, which operates state prisons at locations including Michigan City, Pendleton, Carlisle, and Westville. County jails across Indiana's 92 counties add a second tier of facilities, each operating under local sheriff's oversight with separate communication arrangements. The federal Bureau of Prisons also maintains a presence in Indiana, most notably at the Terre Haute federal complex, which includes a United States Penitentiary and a federal medical center. Each tier of this system has its own provider relationships, and the rules governing communication differ across them.

JPay is used across Indiana Department of Correction state prisons for messaging, photos, and money transfer. Phone and video services at state facilities and many county jails are provided by Securus and GTL. Marion County, which encompasses Indianapolis and operates one of the larger county jail systems in the state, has its own provider setup. Federal facilities at Terre Haute and other locations in Indiana require CorrLinks for electronic communication. As with most states, the challenge for families is not a lack of options. It is knowing which option applies to the specific facility in their situation.

Indiana families dealing with the correctional communication system for the first time often spend considerable time figuring out the basics. Which provider? Which account type? What rules apply at this particular facility? This directory organizes that information for Indiana so you can go directly to the correct answer. Whether the facility is a state prison in the northern part of the state, a county jail in Indianapolis, or a federal complex in Terre Haute, this guide gives you a reliable starting point without the confusion that normally comes with this process.
