Lookup Clark County Inmate Records

Clark County Jail Roster Overview

Clark County's local jail custody is handled by the Clark County Sheriff's Office at the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex. The sheriff site does not publish a separate local roster page in the reviewed source set. The public online jail channel is INjail Public Access, a statewide Indiana county-jail portal with search fields for name, birth date, county, booking date, and release date. Select Clark in the county field when searching for a person booked into the Clark County Jail.

The roster covers county jail custody, not every form of custody tied to a Clark County case. Pretrial inmates, county-sentenced inmates, and some agency holds may appear there. A person sentenced to state prison should be searched through Indiana Department of Correction. A federal sentenced prisoner belongs in the BOP locator. Immigration custody should be checked through ICE ODLS and, when ICE lists the Clark County Jail, by calling the jail information number.

Search Clark County Inmate Records

The INjail search is best used in a browser because direct API calls require a reCAPTCHA token. Start broad, then narrow. If a person was just arrested, spelling and booking timing can affect the first result. If a person was released, use the released-date filter or the sheriff public-records request path.

1. Open INjail Public Access.
2. Enter the last name. Add first name or birth date when known.
3. Choose Clark from the county dropdown.
4. Use Booked Between for a new booking or Released Between for a recent release.
5. Open the public profile and compare name, booking date, county, and status.
6. Check IDOC, ICE, BOP, or VINE/SAVIN when the person may have moved out of county jail custody.

The INjail search screen shown below is the official public portal matched to Clark County jail roster work in the manifest.

The county filter is the key control for local results, since the same statewide portal can return inmates from other Indiana counties if the search stays too broad.

Clark County Roster Search Fields

These are the visible INjail search fields documented in the research. Required status is not posted for each field, so use the fields as filters rather than as mandatory form steps.

Clark County Inmate Profile Fields

A public INjail profile may show a mix of identity, booking, custody, charge, hold, and case fields. The research could not inspect a live Clark County profile through the protected API, but the public frontend components show the record areas used in profiles. Avoid treating every field as guaranteed on every inmate record.

Clark County Inmate Access Channels

Use the channel that matches the custody question. INjail is the current jail roster. The sheriff phone and records request routes are fallbacks for missing, stale, or more detailed booking records. VINE and SAVIN are alert tools. MyCase tracks court cases, not jail custody. IDOC, BOP, and ICE each cover different post-booking or nonlocal custody.

Clark County Booking Records Request

When the online roster does not answer the question, the sheriff public-records request is the local records channel. The sheriff records page points court-record questions to Indiana court resources, but sheriff-held law-enforcement and jail records use the Clark County Sheriff's Office records-request form. The form states that the office will provide information permitted under Indiana APRA, IC 5-14-3, and asks requesters to give as much detail as possible. The direct form includes categories for booking, criminal offense, crash report, and other records, plus fields for the incident date, time, location, case number, inmate number, and the specific information sought.

For jail inmate records, useful request wording is narrow. Ask for the booking record, arrest or summons information, custody received and discharged times, transfer time, bond amount if fixed, or jail-placement reason. The research notes that the form's checkboxes closely track the public law-enforcement disclosure categories people usually need after an arrest. Records can be inspected at the sheriff's records division at 501 E. Court Avenue in Jeffersonville. If copies are mailed, government copying fees may apply and the records division will notify the requester of costs.

The direct CCSO public-records request form is captured below from the manifest.

Use the form for sheriff-held booking and custody records, while court filings and official court documents remain with MyCase, the clerk, or the court.

Clark County Jail Contact Card

The main jail facility is the local contact point for Clark County jail custody. The research found no separate county annex, state prison, BOP prison, or stand-alone ICE detention building inside Clark County. ICE lists Clark County Jail as a facility channel, but the address and phone match the county jail.

Clark County Booking and Intake

A Clark County inmate record begins when a person is brought to jail after arrest, on a warrant, after court remand, or under another hold. Jail staff confirm identity, booking authority, paperwork, and arresting agency. Personal property is inventoried and stored. The sheriff FAQ says property can be released during business hours when the inmate signs a release, except clothing. Medical and mental-health screening occur during intake, and jail classification assigns minimum, medium, or maximum-security housing based on risk and needs.

The 2025 annual report says the jail processed 5,107 inmates and had a 26-day average length of stay. The public roster's exact refresh rate was not located in official sources. When a booking is very new, a phone call to the jail, a broader roster search, or later recheck may be needed.

Clark County App and Alerts

No confirmed official Clark County, Indiana sheriff mobile app with inmate lookup, warrant lookup, most-wanted, or records-request functions was located in the sheriff site navigation or app-store sweep. A Google Play result for a Clark County Sheriff Office app appeared to reference Clark County, Ohio by package name, so it should not be used for Clark County, Indiana inmate records. Jeffersonville Police has a Tip411 app and text-tip channel for police tips and alerts, but it is not a jail roster or inmate lookup source.

For alerts tied to custody or criminal case status, use Indiana VINE or Indiana SAVIN. SAVIN can search by partial or complete last name, offender identification number, or case number. Those systems are useful for notifications, but they do not replace the Clark County roster, sheriff records request, IDOC locator, BOP locator, or ICE ODLS when the goal is to confirm where a person is held.

Clark County Jail Visitation

Clark County jail visits use InmateSales or 866-340-7879. Visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. A valid state ID is required for registration and check-in. On-site visits are bi-weekly and restricted to family and friends, while off-site video visits have no frequency limit stated in the sheriff research. Visits are at least 15 minutes and may be monitored or recorded.

Mail and Money for Clark County Inmates

Regular jail mail must include the inmate's name and jail identification number. Ordinary outside items are limited to letters except approved exceptions. Legal mail goes directly to the facility and is opened or inspected, not read, in the inmate's presence. Books must come directly from approved sources, hardbacks are not accepted, and books become jail library property at release. The mail address is 501 E. Court Ave Suite 159, Attn: inmate name, Jeffersonville, IN 47130.

The sheriff inmate-funds page says money is not accepted at Jail Command. The lobby is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 7:00pm, and the kiosk can accept deposits after regular lobby business hours and during visitation hours. CorrectPay is accepted online. The kiosk transaction fee is $2.95, and credit or debit card service fee is 5 percent.
