Indiana families use YardLink across 6 facilities — from IDOC state prisons to Hoosier county jails including Marion County (Indianapolis), Lake County (Gary), Allen County (Fort Wayne), St. Joseph County (South Bend), and Vanderburgh County (Evansville). YardLink replaces JPay's $0.25–$0.50 per-message charges with free letters and photos, so families from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne to South Bend never watch a credit balance drain.
