Jail Commissary
Persons in the Marion County Jail can purchase food, personal hygiene and other items, weekly- including holidays, from the jail's commissary. Money is deposited to an inmate's account and, in turn, inmates may purchase commissary items drawing on the funds in their account. Inmates on restriction status may purchase only personal hygiene items. The purchase of commissary items by incarcerated persons is a privilege and not a right. Access to the commissary may be withheld for just cause.
Persons may make deposits to an inmate's commissary account in four different ways:
In person with cash only: Cash Deposits are at the security desk just inside the East entrance of the Marion County Jail at 40 South Alabama Street in Downtown Indianapolis. Deposits can be made from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday- excluding county holidays. The minimum deposit accepted is $1.00 and the maximum is $100.00. Persons making the deposits need to know the inmate's name, cell housing unit (cell block number), date of birth and/or gallery number in order to make a deposit.
Over the telephone with credit card only: Payment to commissary accounts can be made by using Visa®, MasterCard® or American Express® credit cards by calling (317) 216-7885. Persons calling need to know the inmate's name, cell housing unit (cell block number), date of birth and/or gallery number in order to make a deposit. Please note there is a convenience charge for making deposits into a commissary account with a credit card.
Via the U.S. Mail with money orders: Deposits are be made to commissary accounts via the U.S. Mail but only Postal Prepaid Money Orders, other accredited prepaid money orders and U.S. government checks are accepted. Cash, personal or payroll checks and credit cards numbers are not accepted. All money orders received for deposit on inmate accounts must be made payable to Marion County Jail Commissary. The inmate's name, cell housing unit (cell block number), date of birth and/or gallery number must appear on the money order and the name must be the one that the inmate used when they were processed into the jail.
