Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Where to look depends on the record type and custody stage:
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and the Jefferson County roster before calling Jail Control.
- For booking photos tied to the roster, use jail roster mugshots and verify with the jail if the photo or charge text is unclear.
- For charges and court filings after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Indiana MyCase, or the Jefferson County Clerk's office.
- For facility-specific custody details, use the Jefferson County Jail page. Research found no separate city, state, federal, or ICE detention facility physically located in Jefferson County.
- For a sentenced Indiana prisoner, search the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Indiana VINE and SAVIN may also help with custody notifications.
- For sheriff records not posted online, make a public-records request under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, through the office that maintains the record. Research did not find a separate Jefferson County, Indiana sheriff mobile app for inmate lookup.
