Montgomery County Jail Inmate Mail
Send an Inmate Mail in the Montgomery County Jail
The Montgomery County Jail is on Memorial Drive in Crawfordsville, and its work release program runs out of the same building. Mail comes and goes on regular postal days, and staff scan and inspect every piece. The Sheriff's Office says mail that breaks its rules can be seized, and the sender can be prosecuted.
Where all mail goes, including legal mail and publications:

- Photos: Pictures must be unedited, straight from the camera, or they won't be delivered.
- Not allowed in the envelope: Stickers or other adhesives, powders, glitter, stains or unknown substances, cash, and anything with a battery or moving parts.
- No cut-outs or printouts: Magazine and newspaper clippings, books, book pages and printed pictures or text are all banned.
- Magazines and newspapers: A full subscription must come straight from the publisher. The jail keeps out issues showing profanity, weapons or adult content.
- From: Your name and mailing address must sit in the upper left corner. Mail without it most likely won't be delivered.
- Ink: Blue or black only. No crayons, markers, felt pens or colored ink, and no lipstick or perfume.
- Drawings: None on the letter, the envelope or a postcard.
- Greeting cards: Send plain ones that don't make music.
- Stamps: Don't send them, because inmates order stamps through commissary.
- Packages: These can only come from the jail's approved commissary company.
- Who may write: Family and friends may write, but co-defendants, other inmates and people under a no-contact order may not.
- Electronic messages: Electronic messages must follow the same rules as paper mail. Photos must be JPG or PNG files and are checked by staff, and a rejected message is not refunded.
Commissary deposits are made when you send money online. Check the jail roster first to be sure the person is still there.
