How to Contact an Inmate at Noble County Jail, IN (IN)

Need to pass along a quick message? This jail does not deliver messages to inmates. The only reliable written option is sending a letter through the U.S. Postal Service. Mail gets delivered to inmates at mail pass each day.

Phone contact works the other direction. Phones in the cellblocks are for outgoing calls only, so you'll need to wait for your person to call you.

Visitation depends on the inmate's Approved Visitors' List. This list is filled out at intake and allows up to five visitors. Once it's set, inmates can only change it once every 180 days during their incarceration.

Visits are scheduled, not drop-in. You must call at least 24 hours before the date and time you want. The available days and time blocks depend on which housing block the inmate is in, so find out their block before picking a slot.

1. Call to schedule your visit. Contact the jail at least 24 hours ahead of the visitation date and time you want.
2. Pick a time that matches the inmate’s housing block. Ask for an open session that matches their block’s visiting days and hours (see the schedule details below).

• ✓ Confirm the inmate added you to their Approved Visitors’ List at intake.
• ✓ Remember the list is limited to five visitors.
• ✓ If you are not on the list, the inmate may only be able to change it once every 180 days.

• ✓ Keep your visit calm and orderly.
• ✓ Avoid loud talking and profanity.
• ✓ Do not wear improper clothing.
• ✓ Avoid anything that could be considered indecent exposure, since it can end the visit.

• ✓ Send letters through the U.S. Postal Service. The jail delivers USPS mail at mail pass each day.
• ✓ Plan for phone contact to be outbound. Inmates use phones in the cellblocks to make outgoing calls.

• ✓ If the inmate is in A, B, C, F, or G block, schedule a Monday through Thursday session.
• ✓ If the inmate is in D, E, or H block, schedule a Sunday-only session.
• ✓ Use the session windows and “last scheduled visit” cutoffs when choosing your time.

For A, B, C, F, and G housing blocks, visitation runs Monday through Thursday only. Sessions are 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. (last scheduled visit at 10:30 a.m.), 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (last scheduled visit at 3:30 p.m.), and 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. (last scheduled visit at 9:30 p.m.). For D, E, and H housing blocks, visitation is Sunday only. Sessions run 2:00 to 6:20 p.m. (last scheduled visit at 6:00 p.m.) and 7:30 to 9:40 p.m. (last scheduled visit at 9:20 p.m.).

Before you arrange childcare or take time off work, confirm two things with the jail: that you still need to call 24 hours ahead to schedule, and that the housing-block schedule and session windows match what's listed here. Visiting options are tied to the inmate's block (A, B, C, F, G versus D, E, H), so a mismatch can cost you your visit.

Being told you can't visit? Ask the inmate to confirm whether you're on their Approved Visitors' List. The policy at this jail caps the list at five visitors, with changes allowed once every 180 days. It helps to verify where you stand before trying to schedule.

For day-to-day communication, double-check the basics so you're not relying on something the jail doesn't offer. Noble County Jail does not deliver messages to inmates, but USPS letters are delivered at mail pass each day. Phone calls are inmate-initiated only, since the cellblock phones are for outgoing calls.
