Montgomery County Jail Overview

Montgomery County Jail is operated by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. The official county and sheriff pages place the jail and sheriff's office at 600 Memorial Drive, Crawfordsville, IN 47933, with the main jail and office phone listed as (765) 362-3740. The jail is the local adult detention destination identified in official county sources. It is not a separate work-release building, city jail, state prison, BOP institution, or ICE detention facility.

The official county jail page states that the current jail opened in June 2006. It replaced the active detention role of older downtown jail history, while the historic rotary jail remains a separate local landmark. The sheriff's Jail Info page adds current operational detail for visitation, mail, medical care, commissary, bond, Securus services, programs, property, and emergency contact rules.

The people held at Montgomery County Jail include adults awaiting court, people serving local jail sentences, temporary holds before transfer, and work-release participants. A person sentenced to Indiana prison is searched through IDOC after transfer. A federal sentence uses BOP, and immigration detention uses ICE ODLS.

Montgomery County Jail Capacity

Capacity is the most concrete published population figure for this facility. The official county page gives a 224-bed total and breaks it into 130 male beds, 40 female beds, 12 temporary beds, 2 padded detox beds, and 40 work-release beds. The sheriff Jail Info page also says the facility has 224 beds, including temporary housing, medical housing, permanent housing, and two padded detox and anti-self-harm housing cells.

A current daily population count was not located in official public sources reviewed for this build. That gap should stay visible. The page can accurately state bed capacity and housing categories, but it should not claim an average daily population, annual booking count, or overcrowding status without a sourced figure.

Look Up Montgomery County Jail Inmates

The sheriff's Find an Inmate page is the official web entry point for local custody. During research, the text-rendered page did not expose visible search fields or a sample inmate profile. Treat the page as the starting point, then use the jail phone, SAVIN/VINELink, MyCase, and outside locators as needed.

1. Open the sheriff Find an Inmate page and allow any embedded roster or mobile-supported view to load.
2. Search by the person's name if a public search form appears.
3. If no result appears, call Montgomery County Jail at (765) 362-3740 and ask whether the person is in current county custody.
4. Use Indiana SAVIN or VINELink for custody-status notification, not for full booking records.
5. Search MyCase for court charges and IDOC, BOP, or ICE when the person is outside county custody.

For a deeper explanation of roster limits and fallback channels, use the Montgomery County jail inmate records page.

Montgomery County Jail Contact

Use the Memorial Drive jail and sheriff campus for jail visits, inmate records routing, property pickup, bond questions, and custody questions. The courthouse is the right place for the Clerk, Prosecutor, court dates, and court-file copies, but it is not the jail intake location.

Visiting Montgomery County Jail

Montgomery County Jail has local visitation rules that should be followed closely. Inmates may receive visitors after five full days of detention. Each inmate may submit a visitation sheet for up to five approved adults per month. Visits are first-come, first-served; onsite visits are not scheduled ahead of time; no early check-ins are allowed; and each visitor must show state-issued picture ID. Each visit is 20 minutes and can be ended by jail staff for Securus or sheriff rule violations.

Visits must be scheduled at least 25 minutes before the listed end time for the visiting block. The current sheriff page says only one minor is allowed with each visitor, while an older county page says no person under 18 may visit or be in the visitation area. Because both are official pages, call the jail before bringing a child.

Mail Phone and Money

Mail may be sent and received during regular postal days and times, but Montgomery County Jail lists several prohibited items. Do not send stickers, stained or altered mail, adhesives, powders, glitter, currency, battery-operated or mechanized items, newspaper or magazine clippings, books, book pages, or printed-out pictures and text. Photos must be unedited or SOOC. Mail that violates the rules can be intercepted or confiscated, and the sheriff warns that violations may lead to prosecution.

Keep account types separate. Access Corrections is the commissary route. Securus is for video, calls, and messages. AllPaid is for online bond payments when the jail or court confirms that the bond is eligible for that payment channel.

Booking at Montgomery County Jail

Booking starts when an arresting agency transports a person to the jail or another approved booking point. Jail staff confirm identity and custody authority, inventory property, conduct required intake and medical screening, and classify the person for housing. The jail has temporary, medical, permanent, detox, anti-self-harm, and work-release housing references, so classification is more than a simple bed assignment.

Indiana county jail standards require admitted-inmate records and govern intake, searches, housing, discipline, medical care, mail, and visitation. The sheriff page says medical, dental, and therapeutic care are provided through contracted correctional healthcare. Medication must be approved by the jail physician before it is dispensed, and medication drop-offs are not accepted.

Programs at Montgomery County Jail

The sheriff Jail Info page lists a strong set of local programs and support services. The Jail Chemical Addictions Program is an intensive 90-day program with Valley Oaks Health counseling, structured routine, classes, optional Bible studies, and aftercare connections through the Crawfordsville Fire Department Quick Response Team. A.C.C.I. Life Skills is another 90-day program using materials on anger management, cognitive awareness, relationships, responsibility, parenting, and substance abuse.

Other listed programs and supports include clergy visits, chaplaincy with Jamie Cevela, InWell peer recovery help, Celebrate Redemption, Out of Darkness and church services, Narcotics Anonymous, and Q.C.C. Mental Health Counseling. The sheriff page also says spiritual guidance can be requested, but specific ministers or spiritual counselors may need approval from the Jail Commander or Assistant Commander.

Ordinary messages are not delivered by jail deputies. Emergency contact must go through a division commander, who decides legitimacy and speaks directly with the inmate. Funeral transport requires a judge's transport order, with no exceptions.
