Hendricks County Jail Roster
Hendricks County inmate records are searched through the INjail Public Portal, with a Hendricks County results route at the statewide jail site. The Sheriff's Office page links INjail, VINE, public-records request tools, jail services, and jail fee or handbook resources. The jail itself is operated by the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office, with Sheriff Jack Sadler listed as sheriff and Captain Josh Watts listed as Jail Division commander in the research source.
The Hendricks County jail roster is a custody lookup, not the official court case file. INjail's disclaimer says public jail information may not reflect current court case status and should be verified through official court records. A person may appear in a booking result before the court record shows every charge or hearing, and a court record may continue after a person is released. For charges, pleas, hearings, and outcomes, use MyCase and the Clerk's court records process.
The INjail Public Portal is the statewide public search channel for Hendricks County jail roster information.
The portal helps find county jail custody records, while court status and official case events still need court verification.
Use the Hendricks County Inmate Roster
A roster search should start broad enough to find the person but narrow enough to avoid unrelated names. Statewide INjail searches can use name, date of birth, county, and booking or release date ranges. The Hendricks County route filters to current county results. If a search is urgent because of bond, release, or court timing, the jail phone line remains important because online entries can lag real-time custody events.
- Open INjail or the Hendricks County current-inmates route.
- Enter last name and first name when known, or use county and date filters for a broader search.
- Review the result list for name, age, booked-on date, release status, and the view link.
- Open the public profile detail to check booking number, arrest data, holds, and case references.
- Verify case status through MyCase and official court records if charges, hearings, or dispositions matter.
- Call the jail at 317-745-9332 for bond information, especially after booking or outside regular court hours.
For a person who is no longer in the jail, the INjail release field may show a release date or a blank marker. That does not mean the court case has ended. It only means the custody status in the public jail system has changed.
Hendricks County Inmate Search Fields
The INjail search form accepts several fields. At least one search value is needed for a statewide search, and the county filter can keep results focused on Hendricks County. The portal's app bundle limits name fields to alpha-only entries, so punctuation or extra characters may cause missed matches. Date filters are useful for recent bookings or recent releases.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional, but one criterion is needed statewide | Maximum length 50; alpha-only entry in the public app bundle. |
| First Name | Text | Optional | Maximum length 50; alpha-only entry. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | Optional | Placeholder m/d/yyyy with datepicker controls. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Use Hendricks County or the county-specific route for FIPS 18063. |
| Booked Between | Date range picker | Optional | Ranges include today, last 7 days, last 30 days, this month, and last month. |
| Released Between | Date range picker | Optional | Ranges include last 7 days and last 30 days. |
| Buttons | Button | Required to execute | Search and Clear controls run or reset the lookup. |
Note: Medical, classification, protective-custody, and transport details are not public roster fields and may be restricted for privacy or safety reasons.
Hendricks County Inmate Profile Fields
INjail profile information is built for public custody lookup, so it focuses on identifying data, booking data, release status, holds, and case references. It is not a full criminal history. It also does not replace the court chronological case summary, prosecutor charge filings, or final court disposition. Public profiles should be read as a snapshot that needs verification with the jail and court when action is required.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The public name associated with the booking record. |
| INjail ID | The statewide public portal identifier for the profile. |
| Age | The age shown in the public result or profile. |
| County | The county jail associated with the booking, such as Hendricks County. |
| Booking number | The jail booking identifier. |
| Booked on | The date the person was booked into custody. |
| Arrest date | The arrest date when posted in the public detail. |
| Arresting agency / officer | The agency and officer fields when public and available. |
| Released status/date | Whether the person is released and any posted release date. |
| Holds | Holds listed in the public profile, if any. |
| Cases | Case references tied to the booking when available. |
The Hendricks County current-inmates route narrows the statewide portal to local custody results.
This county-specific view is useful for quick custody checks, but court and bond decisions should still use official jail or court confirmation.
Hendricks County Jail Contact
The Jail Division operates within the Hendricks County Jail and is responsible for safety, security, humane custody, inmate transports, and jail response operations. The research source says 57 jail deputies are assigned and that jail deputies have special deputy powers under Indiana law. For record searches, the most important distinction is that the Sheriff's Office has general office hours, while the jail bond phone is available for bond information at all hours.

The Sheriff's Office page also links the public-records request form, VINE, INjail, HomeWav, Aramark iCare, sheriff sale information, criminal history request tools, and jail policy documents. If a needed jail record is not visible in INjail, the sheriff records-request channel may be the appropriate fallback, subject to public-records limits.
Hendricks County Jail Visits
Hendricks County Jail visitation uses HomeWav video visitation. All visitors must create a HomeWav account, and new visitor accounts are approved Monday-Friday during business hours. Onsite visits are limited to three 30-minute visits per inmate per week, must be scheduled 24 hours in advance, and depend on visitor approval. Remote video visitation is also available through HomeWav.
| Type | Schedule / Rule | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Onsite video visitation | Monday-Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m., 1:00-5:30 p.m., 7:00-11:00 p.m. | Not stated separately; scheduled through HomeWav. |

| Remote video | Available through HomeWav. | $0.25 per minute. |

| Phone calls | HomeWav Voice in housing areas daily 8:30 a.m.-11 p.m. | $0.20 per minute. |
| Professional visitors | Reasonable hours except 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., 4:00-6:00 p.m., not after 11 p.m. or before 8 a.m. | No fee stated. |
Visits are recorded and monitored. Visitors must dress appropriately. The jail visitation area does not allow recording devices, cell phones, or cameras. Anyone under 18 must be with an adult who has a valid HomeWav account, and visitors and inmates must use their own credentials rather than sharing visits.
HomeWav is the named video visitation, voice, and deposit service referenced for Hendricks County Jail communication.
That service link matters because visit scheduling, remote video, messages, phone credit, and monitoring rules run through the vendor system.
Mail and Phone Access
Inmate mail must be addressed with the inmate name, prisoner ID number, P.O. Box 87, Danville, IN 46122-0087. Mail must include a complete return name and address, and correspondence without a return address is non-deliverable. Return address labels are not allowed. Books must come from a bookstore or publisher. Clothing cannot be mailed or dropped off, except court clothing by advance arrangement.
Inmates use HomeWav Voice through the video visitation system. The jail no longer sells phone cards in the lobby or commissary. Money can be added through the HomeWav deposit option, and all new inmates receive $2.00 in free phone credit. New inmates receive phone opportunity after processing and during each 8-hour shift while in Holding pending arraignment and classification, but no Holding calls occur between midnight and 6 a.m.
Jail staff will deliver only verifiable emergency messages that can be confirmed through a hospital, coroner, funeral home, or similar source. Medical information cannot be released to family or friends without proper medical channels and HIPAA authorization.
Hendricks County Inmate Bond
Bond information is available from the jail at 317-745-9332, 24 hours daily. Commercial bonds require an indemnifier or co-signer and a bondsman, and the bondsman receives a nonrefundable 10% of the total bond. Out-of-state or non-Indiana inmates may require 110% collateral to the bondsman. Cash bonds require 100% of the amount and an indemnifier, with no bondsman.
During business hours, jail staff complete cash bond forms and direct the indemnifier to the Clerk's Office for payment. After business hours, on weekends, or on holidays, the jail accepts money orders payable to the Hendricks County Clerk, Plainfield Town Clerk, or Brownsburg Town Clerk, depending on the case. That distinction reflects Hendricks County's court and town-court routing and should be verified before payment.
Important: Bond status can change quickly after hearings, holds, or new orders, so call the jail before paying or traveling.
Hendricks County Commissary Funds
Hendricks County Jail commissary is issued twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday. Ordering is available Monday and Wednesday until 4 p.m. The jail does not accept money orders, cash, or checks through the mail for commissary. The lobby kiosk at the jail entry is available 24 hours daily and accepts cash in $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills plus credit and debit cards.
Online trust deposits use ConnectNetwork for Hendricks County Jail, which lists Site ID 172 and Trust Fund service. Phone trust deposits use 888-988-4768. HomeWav handles prepaid phone deposits at 1-844-394-6639. Commissary may be unavailable or limited for disciplinary segregation, Level 1 Maximum Security, inmates who violated cellblock rules, and inmates not yet initially heard or classified into general population.
The ConnectNetwork Hendricks County Jail page is the manifest source for trust-fund deposits and the local Site ID.
That deposit channel is separate from court payments, bond payments, and HomeWav phone or visit funds.
DOC and SAVIN Distinctions
The Hendricks County inmate roster is for county jail custody. The Indiana DOC offender locator is for sentenced inmates in state Department of Correction custody. A person may move from county jail to DOC after sentencing, but those are different systems. A DOC result is not proof of a current Hendricks County jail booking, and an INjail result is not a full state prison history.
Indiana SAVIN is a victim-notification and offender-status channel. It can be useful for alerts and custody status, but it is not the official court case record, the jail roster, or a court disposition. The Sheriff's Office also promotes a sheriff app with crime tips, sex offender registry access, hiring updates, road-closure alerts, notifications, and Sheriff's Office information. No official app-only inmate lookup was found in the research source.
Sex and violent offender registry searches are another separate tool. Registry information is about registration duties and public registry status, not a current jail booking. For charge history, use MyCase. For custody, use INjail and the jail. For state-prison custody, use DOC. For notifications, use SAVIN.
Note: Public jail fields can help locate a person, but official case outcomes should be verified with court records before relying on them.
