Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the LaGrange County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Call the LaGrange County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
