Indiana Women's Prison

Visiting someone at Indiana Women's Prison starts with registration. Create an account on the IDOC ViaPath website, complete the electronic visitation application (State Form 14387), and wait for approval before scheduling any in-person or video visits. When booking through ViaPath, pay attention to the time displayed—scheduling uses Eastern Time. If you're 16 or older, bring an accepted photo ID (the facility lists approved types) and expect criminal background and warrant checks. Active warrants may trigger review by investigations or correctional police. Missing required documents can delay your application or get it rejected. Falsifying your application means a one-year ban from all correctional facilities. Bringing contraband onto Department property? That's a permanent ban and law enforcement referral.

Sending messages or photos to someone at Indiana Women's Prison? You'll use GettingOut following the IDOC tablet transition. Start by creating a new GettingOut.com account—you can do this on desktop or mobile. On a computer, head to gettingout.com and follow the account creation steps, including confirming your date of birth. On your phone, download the GettingOut app from the App Store, tap Get to install, and finish setup in the app. Messages and photo attachments have per-item fees, so check your balance before sending. The tablets run on a closed intranet with no web or social media access—all communication stays within the vendor system.

Mail sent to Indiana Women's Prison is typically scanned and delivered electronically to a kiosk or tablet—not handed over as the original paper. Incoming personal mail gets opened and inspected for contraband. Legal mail is handled differently and usually opened in the inmate's presence if inspected at all. To avoid delays, address your letter clearly with the inmate's full name and ID number, plus your full name and return address. Stickers, glitter, cash, clippings, and sexually explicit material are commonly rejected—mail that breaks the rules may be returned or refused. If your loved one uses IDOC tablets, you'll need a GettingOut.com account to send pictures and messages, and per-item charges may apply.

Indiana Women's Prison uses ConnectNetwork and related payment systems for adding money to an incarcerated person's trust/commissary account. You can deposit funds online, by phone, at a lobby kiosk, or by mailing a money order with the facility's official deposit form. The form instructs you to make the money order payable to TouchPay Holdings, LLC and mail it to PO Box 827, Houston, TX 77001-0827. No fees for money orders, according to the form. If you use AdvancePay, watch your account activity—accounts go inactive after 180 consecutive days and may be forfeited. Refunds require contacting customer service or ViaPath toll-free support.
