The Indiana Inmate Searches 

Jail Roster Inmate Search 

City and county jails are the primary holding facilities for Indiana police departments and Sheriff's Offices. Often, these detention facilities are the entry point for an inmate going through the Indiana criminal justice system. Hence, the facilities maintain detailed jail rosters online or at their lobbies, providing the offender description, arrest and booking details, and custody status. Still, the inmate listing only captures details of detainees who are through with the booking process. The online jail roster is available on the arresting law enforcement agency's official website.
