How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
LaPorte County Jail offers a few ways to add funds to an inmate's account: use the lobby kiosk (cash or credit/debit), make an online deposit through Tigg's Canteen, or mail a cashier's check or money order addressed to the inmate. Placing an online commissary order? The deadline is 12:00 AM every Tuesday for delivery the following week. The jail accepts stimulus checks for deposit but won't take payroll checks, personal checks, or Social Security checks. For bail and bond: bail money is accepted at the County Clerk's Office from 8:00 am–4:00 pm, and bonds are taken 24/7 in the Sheriff's Office lobby. Call 219.326.7700 (option 1) to get the bail amount.
