Clark County Inmate Lookup
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is the local agency source for jail resources and custody questions. Its public address is 501 East Court Avenue in Jeffersonville, with main phone 812-283-4471 and non-emergency dispatch 812-246-6996. The sheriff site links jail resources, inmate funds, bond, visitation, victim notifications, records, citations, and related public-safety services.
The county inmate search itself is handled through the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, often called INjail. It is a statewide portal for county jail bookings. It is not the same as MyCase, which holds court case records, and it is not the same as the IDOC locator for sentenced state prisoners.
The official sheriff and police app check did not locate a current Clark County Indiana app with an app-only inmate lookup. That means the public source chain stays web and phone based: INjail for roster search, sheriff resources for local jail services, VINE or SAVIN for notification, IDOC for state custody, and MyCase or the Clerk for court records after charges are filed.
The screenshot source for the Clark County Sheriff's Office is shown below because the sheriff site is the local entry point for jail resources, bond, visitation, records, and law-enforcement contact channels.
Use the sheriff source for local jail service rules, then use INjail or notification portals for searchable custody status.
Search Clark County Jail Roster
The INjail portal supports a name, birth date, county, booking date, or release date search. A broad last-name search may return many county results, so selecting Clark as the county helps avoid matches from other Indiana jails. The portal disclaimer says the information may not reflect current case status and should be verified with official court records or the local jail.
- Open the Indiana County Jail Public Portal.
- Enter at least one search value, such as last name, first name, birth date, booking range, release range, or county.
- Choose Clark in the county filter when the search should focus on Clark County inmates.
- Review the result row for name, age, booked date, released date, and the view option.
- Open the profile, then verify case outcome or bond changes through the court or sheriff channel.
The manifest source for the Indiana County Jail Public Portal is shown below because it is the primary public lookup point for Clark County jail roster searches.
INjail is useful for custody status, but MyCase remains the better source for court dates, charges filed in court, and case disposition.
Clark County Inmate Search Fields
INjail's public form allows flexible searching. The app requires at least one search value, but most fields are optional. A last name plus Clark County is often the most direct start when the exact booking date is not known.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional, but at least one criterion required | Maxlength 50; alpha-only entry in the app template. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Maxlength 50; alpha-only entry. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | Optional | Placeholder m/d/yyyy; min and max date rules are enforced by the app. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | County filter includes Indiana counties; select Clark. |
| Booked Between | Date-range picker | Optional | Presets include today, last 7 days, last 30 days, this month, and last month. |
| Released Between | Date-range picker | Optional | Presets include last 7 days and last 30 days. |
Clark County Inmate Profile Fields
The INjail profile is a booking and custody view. It can connect a person to cases or holds, but it should not be treated as the final court case file. A pending charge can change after prosecutor review, and a release entry does not prove that the court case is over.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and INjail ID | The person listed in the county jail portal and the portal's identifier. |
| Age and county | Age shown by the portal and the Indiana county jail source. |
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier for that custody event. |
| Booked On and arrest date | When the booking or arrest event was recorded. |
| Arresting agency and officer | The agency or officer listed on the custody profile when available. |
| Released | Release date or "---" if no release is shown. |
| Holds and cases | Linked hold or case information shown by the portal. |
Note: Verify court status through MyCase or the Clark County Clerk because jail data may lag or use different event labels.
Clark County Jail Contacts
The sheriff research identifies the Clark County Sheriff's Office and jail resources under the same local sheriff site. The accessible research did not provide a separate capacity figure or a second jail facility for this page, so the contact card stays limited to confirmed local details and supported service channels.
Clark County Sheriff's Office and Jail Resources
501 East Court Avenue
Jeffersonville, IN 47130
812-283-4471
Non-emergency dispatch: 812-246-6996
The sheriff jail landing page source is shown below because it routes Clark County inmate users to bond, victim notification, inmate funds, visitation, inmate mail, attorney information, and jail FAQ resources.
The jail resource page is the right starting point when the question is about local jail services rather than court records.
VINE SAVIN and IDOC
Clark County inmate searches often need more than one system. Indiana VINE is a public custody and case notification portal. Indiana SAVIN supports offender searches by offender name, offender identification number, or case/cause number. These tools are useful for notice and custody tracking, but they do not replace court records.
VINE is best read as a notification and custody tool, especially when a victim or family member needs custody-change alerts.
SAVIN is another state notification and search channel. The manifest source for Indiana SAVIN is shown below because it supports offender searches that can supplement a Clark County jail roster search.
SAVIN search results should be cross-checked with the local jail or court when the next court date, bond, or case status matters.
The IDOC incarcerated locator is for sentenced state inmates and facility assignment. It is not the Clark County jail roster. If a person has moved from county custody to state prison, IDOC records may show a DOC number or facility. IDOC offender records requests go to 302 W. Washington Street, Room E-334, Indianapolis, IN 46204, or coaoffenderrecordrequest@idoc.in.gov with name and DOC number in the subject line.
IDOC is the correct path after a state prison transfer, while INjail remains the county jail booking path.
Clark County Inmate Bond
Bond information can appear in the jail profile or court case, but the controlling payment rules come from the sheriff and clerk sources. The sheriff bond page says cash or surety and court cash bonds are collected 24 hours a day, seven days a week. During business hours, the sheriff prefers bonds be paid at the Clerk's Office. Cash-only bonds must be paid directly to the Clerk of the Courts, and the Clerk phone is 812-285-6244.
| Bond channel | Use | Rule from research |
|---|---|---|
| Sheriff | Cash, surety, and court cash bonds | Collected 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
| Clerk of the Courts | Business-hours bond payment and cash-only bonds | Cash-only bonds must be paid directly to the Clerk. |
| MyCase | Case search and bond clues | Linked from the sheriff bond page for case lookup. |
Clark County Inmate Visitation
Video visitation must be scheduled 24 hours in advance by appointment. Registration is through InmateSales or by calling 866-340-7879. Visitors must be registered with a valid state ID to schedule a video visit and must bring valid state ID to check in. Visits are monitored and recorded.
| Visit type | Schedule / length | Scheduling | Key rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site video visits | Minimum 15 minutes; held bi-weekly for family and friends | InmateSales or 1-866-340-7879; 24 hours in advance | Restricted to family and friends; monitored and recorded; proof of identity required. |
| Off-site video visits | Minimum 15 minutes; unrestricted frequency | InmateSales or 1-866-340-7879; 24 hours in advance | Purchased remotely; monitored and recorded; visitor register and denial rules apply. |
| Weekday video window | Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. | Appointment required | Valid state ID and registration required. |
| Weekend video window | Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. | Appointment required | Visit can be denied for rule violations or identity issues. |
Visitors may be denied for unacceptable attire, disruptive conduct, failure to control minor children, lack of picture ID, recent criminal conviction, intoxication, probation or parole status, unaccompanied minors, contraband history, or discussion of illegal activity or jail rule violations.
Visitors must keep control of personal property or store coats, hats, and similar items in vehicles. The research lists only ID, vehicle keys, and a diaper bag as examples of items allowed when needed. Jail staff will not hold personal property. Visitors may be scanned with a metal detector wand or physically searched if jail staff determines it is necessary, and the visitor register records the visitor's name, driver's license number, visit times, and the inmate visited.
Clark County Inmate Funds
The sheriff inmate funds source states that money is not accepted at Jail Command. The jail lobby is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with holiday hours posted in advance. Money orders may be mailed, but they must be filled out completely or they will be returned.
Deposits can also be made at the jail lobby kiosk after regular lobby business hours and during visitation hours. Online credit-card deposits go through CorrectPay. The kiosk fee is $2.95, and the credit or debit card service fee is 5%.
Research gap: Official static sources reviewed did not capture inmate-mail text, commissary ordering, phone pricing, tablet rules, or attorney visitation details.
Clark County Booking Records
Booking information can come from more than one record owner. INjail gives the public custody profile. The sheriff handles local law-enforcement and jail questions. MyCase handles the official court case file after charges, appearances, motions, judgments, and financial entries reach the court record. The Clerk is the fallback for certified court copies or public court documents that are not linked online.
A release date in INjail should be read as a custody event, not as dismissal of a charge. The court case can remain open after release, bond posting, or transfer.
For sheriff-held records, the sheriff records request channel is the better path than the Clerk. For court-held records, the Clerk public-records process is the better path. That distinction matters when a person wants an arrest report, jail booking fact, bond question, court charge, disposition, or certified order. Each item may be public, partly public, delayed, or held by a different office.
| Need | Likely source | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | INjail or sheriff | The person may be booked, released, or held locally. |
| Victim or custody notifications | VINE or SAVIN | Notification tools track custody or case changes. |
| Sentenced state prison custody | IDOC locator | State prison assignment is separate from county jail booking. |
| Charges and case outcome | MyCase or Clerk | The court record controls filed charges, disposition, and sentence. |
