Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Indiana County Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. Records usually become searchable only after booking and intake are completed, which can take several hours, so a person arrested recently may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility during business hours for general custody information that can be released to the public.
