Inmate Search

The best way to receive accurate, up to date, information on an inmate is to call 208-888-6678. Meridian Jail does have an online inmate search, which you can access here. Be advised, the online database is typically updated every Sunday evening, so there might be a lag in available information about an inmate.

Sending a Mail/Care Package

The general mailing address for the jail is:

Meridian, Idaho

Since it is a short-term facility, call ahead and ask to see how long the inmate will be located at the Meridian Jail. Some inmates are only in this facility for a couple of days, so your mail might miss out on being delivered. All mail going into this facility is opened and screened.

You can set up magazines and newspaper deliveries to go directly from the publishers to this address, but you cannot send them from yourself directly to an inmate.

Sending Money

Call the Meridian Jail directly at 208-888-6678 to inquire about sending money. Since inmates are not at this facility long, commissary accounts might not be set up for them. You might be better helping set up a commissary account at the next facility an inmate is transferred to after this one.

Phone calls

Inmates cannot receive phone calls. During the booking process, they will be able to make a free phone call to an attorney or a family member notifying them of their whereabouts. If they are in the Meridian Jail longer than a couple of days, they will be able to make phone calls outside using collect, and charging the recipient of the phone call.
