How to Visit Marion Adult Detention Center (IN)

Inmates at Marion Adult Detention Center are required to be "bunked-in" during nighttime hours. They may also be bunked-in at various times during the day for count and other reasons. During these periods, movement stops and routines pause. If you're trying to coordinate a visit, expect occasional interruptions around count-related lockdowns.

Planning to put money on an inmate's commissary account? Timing and limits matter. Make your deposit about 48 hours before the inmate's scheduled commissary day so the funds are available when commissary is issued. Each deposit must fall within the facility's allowed range: no less than $10 and no more than $200 per deposit.

Steps-to-follow

• ✓ Deposit commissary money about 48 hours before the inmate’s scheduled commissary day so it has time to post.
• ✓ Keep each deposit between $10 (minimum) and $200 (maximum).

• ✓ Plan your visit timing with “bunk-in” periods in mind. Inmates are bunked-in during nighttime hours and sometimes during the day for count or other issues.
• ✓ Build in extra time and patience in case count procedures temporarily stop movement.

Before you head out, confirm how bunk-in and count procedures affect the daily schedule. Ask what hours are considered "nighttime" for bunk-in, how often counts happen, and whether counts pause or limit movement at specific times. If you have a tight window to visit, knowing when counts typically occur can save you a wasted trip.

Policies can change, and commissary schedules are tied to the inmate's assigned day. Verify the current processing window (the guidance is to deposit about 48 hours in advance), confirm the inmate's commissary day, and double-check the allowed deposit range of $10 minimum and $200 maximum per deposit. The quickest way to confirm is usually the facility's official information line or posted facility guidance.
