Marion County jail inmate search

You can find someone in custody through the Inmate Lookup Tool run by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Search by first and last name, or choose one of these numbers:

• Booking or permanent number
• State ID or County ID
• FBI or ICE number

You can also check a box to include released inmates. Call 317.327.1700 if a recent arrest isn't listed yet.

Adults held by the county stay at the Marion County Adult Detention Center. Check current custody records on the indy.gov Find a Person in Jail page. Because recent bookings may not appear online right away, call 317.327.1700 after a fresh arrest.

Each county office uses a separate phone line depending on what you need:

• 317.327.1700: Main line on the indy.gov Marion County Sheriff's Office page, though it's not a specific jail information line.
• 317-327-8016: Clerk's line on the indy.gov Bond Types and Payments page for bond questions, or email IHCCLERK@indy.gov.
• 1-855-208-7349: ViaPath video visitation help line for remote visit support.

Daily custody operations take place at the Marion County Adult Detention Center, managed by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. All visits are remote by video rather than in person.

Pay bonds in person at the Community Justice Campus, 675 Justice Way, Indianapolis, IN 46203, daily from 8 a.m. to midnight.

Both the main adult jail and the online custody database are managed by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Open the sheriff's Inmate Lookup Tool to search current custody records or include released inmates by name or identification number.

All visits are remote by video through ViaPath, and the Sheriff's Office doesn't do walk-in visits. Schedule on the indy.gov Visit with a Person in Jail page and select Marion County Adult Detention Center.

• Book at least the day before and up to 4 days ahead.
• Up to 4 people can join a visit.
• Cancel 24 hours ahead, or you won't get a refund.

Call 1-855-208-7349 for ViaPath help.

People held in custody buy personal items at the commissary, the jail's own store. Deposit funds into a commissary or telephone account on the indy.gov Marion County Sheriff's Office page. That page also links to the rules for sending letters and photos.

You can add money to a telephone account so someone in custody can place calls. Use the deposit link on the indy.gov Marion County Sheriff's Office page, or call 317.327.1700 for the Sheriff's Office.

Names, mugshots, and arrest records are never shown by County Jail Lookup. Open the Inmate Lookup Tool to see the custody details the county publishes by name or identification number.

A bond is money or a guarantee given to the court so someone can leave custody. Every bond adds a $5 Death Benefit Fee. The indy.gov Bond Types and Payments page covers how to bail someone out of jail:

• In person: pay daily between 8 a.m. and midnight, cash or card, at Community Justice Campus. Bring a photo ID to 675 Justice Way, Indianapolis, IN 46203 if you're 18 or older.
• Online: Cash and recognizance bonds can be paid through GovPayNow, which adds an 8.5% fee. Purge bonds are in person only.
• Bail agent: For a surety bond, work with a commercial bail agent in Indiana.

Staff process releases from the Marion County Adult Detention Center after a bond is paid. Select the released inmates option on the Inmate Lookup Tool to see if they've left custody. Call 317-327-8016 for bond questions or 317.327.1700 for the Sheriff's Office.
