How to Find an Inmate at Plainfield Correctional Facility
To find someone at Plainfield Correctional Facility, use the official inmate search link provided on this page. State prison records work differently from a county jail roster, but they typically list the inmate’s name, ID number, facility location, custody status, booking or intake date, and offense or charge information. Records may not appear immediately after an arrest, court commitment, or transfer because staff must complete processing and data entry. This can take several hours, and in some cases longer. If the person was recently arrested in Hendricks County, first check the county jail roster or contact the arresting agency before checking the state inmate search.
