Hendricks County Jail Roster Channels
The official Hendricks County inmate records path begins with the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office and the public jail roster tools it links. The sheriff page includes an Inmate Lookup link to the county's JailTracker-style roster and also links the INjail Public Portal, the statewide county-jail search interface used for Hendricks County custody records. A county-specific INjail route labels its results as current Hendricks County inmates and uses the county code for Hendricks records. Avon and Danville official pages point users back to the Hendricks County Jail rather than publishing separate municipal jail rosters.
The Hendricks County jail roster is for local custody. It can show people awaiting criminal proceedings, people serving a local sentence, and people held for transport or another agency when those fields are published. It is not the right source after an adult felony sentence moves a person to the Indiana Department of Correction. It also is not a federal or immigration locator. If the county roster has no match, the next checks are the jail phone or lobby, the sheriff public-records request process, the IDOC locator, Indiana VINE or SAVIN, and then the BOP or ICE locator if custody may have left county or state hands.
The Hendricks County current-inmates route in INjail shows the roster-style results table used for current county custody. The screenshot below comes from that public route.
That results table is useful for a quick custody screen, but the detail view is where the booking number, mugshot area, arresting agency, holds, and case fields may appear.
Use the Hendricks County Roster
A strong Hendricks County inmate records search starts with the least narrow data and then adds filters. INjail allows a statewide search or a county-filtered search. The county-specific route is best for a broad current-custody check, while the statewide search helps when a person may have been booked in another Indiana county. The JailTracker link on the sheriff page is also part of the official local path, though the research found that page can depend on browser scripts and may not load cleanly in plain text fetches.
- Start at the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office page and choose Inmate Lookup, or go directly to INjail.
- For current local custody, use the Hendricks County results route or set County to Hendricks in the statewide search.
- Enter last name first. Add first name or birth date when a common name returns too many records.
- Use booked-between dates for a recent arrest. Use released-between dates when the person may have left jail within the portal's available recent-release window.
- Click Search. If no criteria are entered, the app displays an error that at least one search value must be entered.
- Review name, age, race, sex, booked-on date, and released-on date in the results.
- Open View for the detail profile, where the booking number, mugshot, arrest fields, holds, and cases may be shown.
Do not treat a missing roster result as proof that no court case exists. A person may have been released, transferred to IDOC after sentencing, moved to another agency, or never booked into the Hendricks County Jail. Court charges are checked through MyCase, while custody notification can be tracked through Indiana VINE or SAVIN.
Hendricks County Roster Search Fields
INjail's search form accepts names, county, birth date, and booking or release date ranges. That mix matters in Hendricks County because several local sources point to the county jail as the custody hub for Avon, Danville, and other local arrests. A date filter can be more useful than a full name when the exact spelling is uncertain or when a recent booking is the only known fact.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Optional unless no other criteria entered | Max 50 characters; alpha-only entry directive; at least one search value is required. |
| First Name | Text | No | Max 50 characters; useful for common last names. |
| Birth Date | Date picker | No | Uses m/d/yyyy placeholder and datepicker constraints. |
| County | Dropdown | No | Choose Hendricks for a local search or search statewide when custody location is uncertain. |
| Booked Between | Date range | No | Quick ranges include Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, This Month, and Last Month. |
| Released Between | Date range | No | Quick ranges include Last 7 Days and Last 30 Days. |
The INjail Public Portal search screen shows these inputs before a results table is returned.
The statewide form is helpful when a Hendricks County arrest does not mean the person is still held in the Hendricks County Jail.
Hendricks County Inmate Profile Fields
A Hendricks County inmate profile is more detailed than the first results row. The public UI bundle includes a mugshot component, physical description fields, booking and arrest fields, and sections for holds and cases. Not every field must be filled in every profile. Unknown or redacted values may appear as an unknown display, and a released-on field may be blank for current custody.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full inmate name in the result row and profile header. |
| Mugshot | Profile attempts to show a booking photo when one is available through the public mugshot route. |
| INjail ID | Portal identifier separate from the county booking number. |
| Race, ethnicity, skin tone, sex, and age | Identity and demographic fields shown when populated. |
| Eye color, hair color, height, and weight | Physical description fields used to compare similar names. |
| Booking # and Booked On | County booking identifier and booking date. |
| Arrest Date, Agency, and Officer | Arrest event details if the public profile includes them. |
| Released On | Release date when available; current-custody records may be blank or unknown. |
| Holds and Cases | Public sections that may show another reason for custody or linked case information. |
The custody record is not the same as the court record. Booking charges or holds can differ from prosecutor-filed charges, so court filings after a booking should be checked in Hendricks County court records after jail arrest.
Hendricks County Jail vs IDOC
Hendricks County has a local jail in Danville and three state correctional facilities in Plainfield. That makes lookup mistakes common. The county jail roster covers local custody. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through the Indiana Department of Correction incarcerated search, not through the county roster. Adult males sentenced to IDOC may first pass through the Reception Diagnostic Center for intake and classification before placement at Plainfield, Heritage Trail, another Hendricks County state facility, or a facility elsewhere in Indiana.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or local sentence | Hendricks County jail roster through INjail/JailTracker | Local jail custody, booking, holds, and release fields. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | IDOC locator | State prison assignment, DOC number, and IDOC status. |
| Custody notification | Indiana VINE or Indiana SAVIN | Notification and custody status layer, not the source agency record. |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal prisoners and some releases; no county-style mugshots. |
| Immigration detention | ICE detainee locator | ICE custody by A-number/country or biographical data. |
The IDOC incarcerated search accepts last name, first name, or DOC number and publishes a database last-updated date.
Use the DOC number search when it is known, since IDOC notes that a DOC-number search removes one extra step.
Hendricks County Jail Facilities
The Hendricks County Jail and Hendricks County Work Release are separate local facilities on the county government campus in Danville. Plainfield Correctional Facility, Reception Diagnostic Center, and Heritage Trail Correctional Facility are state prisons in Hendricks County, but they are not searched through the county jail roster. This distinction controls which office can verify custody, approve visits, handle mail, or answer records questions.

Booking Records in Hendricks County
Local sources do not publish one single booking-process page, but the roster fields, jail handbook, and local bond rules show the custody path. A person is arrested or committed by court order, transported to the Hendricks County Jail, booked in, identified, searched, screened, photographed, entered into the booking system, and assigned for housing after medical and classification review. The roster may then display the booking number, booked-on date, arrest date, arresting agency, arresting officer, holds, and case links if those fields are published.
Some release facts come from Hendricks County local rules and the inmate handbook. People arrested for certain driving while suspended or no-valid-license offenses are released without bond after processing and a Promise to Appear form. A person who cannot be positively identified at book-in is held without bond until a court bond hearing. Cash bonds are posted with the Hendricks County Clerk or Hendricks County Sheriff after the defendant signs a personal appearance bond. Scheduled releases are processed after 0001 hours on the release date unless a court orders a specific time.
Note: A roster booking charge is a custody entry, while the court charge is the prosecutor-filed allegation tracked through MyCase.
Hendricks County Jail Visitation
After a Hendricks County inmate records search confirms custody, visitation runs through HomeWAV. Visitors need a HomeWAV account, and new visitor accounts are approved Monday through Friday during sheriff public hours. The jail page states that onsite video visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance and are pending visitor approval. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult with a valid HomeWAV account. Visitors are subject to recording and monitoring, and no recording devices, cell phones, or cameras are allowed in the visitation area.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Rule | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| Onsite video | Three 30-minute visits per inmate per week | Scheduled 24 hours in advance pending approval. |
| Weekday onsite hours | 8:30-11:30 a.m., 1:00-5:30 p.m., 7:00-11:00 p.m. | Monday-Friday. |
| Weekend onsite hours | 1:00-5:30 p.m., 7:00-11:00 p.m. | Saturday-Sunday. |
| Remote video | Available through HomeWAV | Account and vendor rules apply. |
| Professional visitors | Reasonable hours with credentials | Not during meal blocks, not before 8 a.m., and not after 11 p.m. |
Request Hendricks County Jail Records
If the roster does not show the needed Hendricks County inmate records, the sheriff public-records form is the official written fallback. The form says the sheriff's office provides all information permitted under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3. Request fields include the requester's name, phone, address, incident date, time, location, report number if known, and people involved. The form can be emailed to tdouglas@co.hendricks.in.us or faxed to 317.745.9276, and records may be picked up at 189 E Campus Boulevard or mailed after notification.
| Record Type | Published Fee |
|---|---|
| Case report or incident report copy | $5 cash per report |
| Vehicle crash report | $5 cash per report |
| Criminal-history background check | $5 cash per name |
| Photographs | $25 |
| Body or dash camera video | $75 per video |
Photos, body-camera video, and dash-camera video are processed after payment. The sheriff fee page says mail requests use money orders instead of cash.
Contact a Hendricks County Inmate
Jail communication options are tied to custody status. The Hendricks County Jail uses HomeWAV for video visitation, voice calls, messaging, kiosks, tablets, and deposit functions. Housing-area phones are available daily from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. All new inmates receive $2.00 free phone credit for HomeWAV Voice calls, and the jail page says HomeWAV Voice cannot call pagers or internet phones. The sheriff page also links Aramark iCare for care packages and ConnectNetwork or ViaPath services where account features are available for the jail.
The documented Hendricks County Sheriff app is a public-safety and alerts channel, not a confirmed inmate-roster source. The sheriff page describes anonymous crime tips, sex-offender registry access, hiring updates, road-closure notices, and other public-safety information. App listings are available through the Apple App Store and Google Play, but the research did not confirm an app-only jail roster or warrant search feature.
- Hold

- Detainer
- A request or notice from another agency that may affect release.
- Classification
