Decatur County Jail Roster Status
No standalone official Decatur County online jail roster was located in the sheriff or county sources. The Decatur County Sheriff's Department site has corrections navigation for Bail Information, Visitor's Information, and Jail Directions, but it does not expose a current-inmate list in the located public menu. The official Indiana County Jail Public Portal exists, but Decatur County was not returned in the participating county API list inspected during research.
That finding changes the search strategy. A current Decatur County inmate record should be checked first through the sheriff's dispatch or administration line. The public counter can help when phone confirmation is not enough or when a written record is needed. Indiana VINE and SAVIN may help with custody status or notifications. MyCase is for the court record after the prosecutor files charges. None of those tools should be described as a complete Decatur County jail roster.
Find Decatur County Inmates
The Decatur County lookup chain separates current custody from court charges and prison custody. That split matters because a person may be booked into the jail before a court case appears, or may be released before MyCase updates. A person sentenced to prison may no longer be in the jail even though the Decatur court case remains public.
- Call 812-222-4911 for dispatch or 812-663-8125 for administration/non-emergency. Ask whether the person is currently held in Decatur County Jail.
- Ask whether bond has been set, whether another hold is active, and whether a court appearance has been scheduled.
- Visit or contact the sheriff's public office at 601 South Ireland St., Greensburg, IN 47240, during Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. public hours if a document is needed.
- Search Indiana VINE or Indiana SAVIN for custody status and notification registration.
- Search Indiana MyCase after arrest for formal charges, hearings, bond entries, and court dates.
- Use IDOC, BOP, or ICE ODLS only when the custody type fits those systems.
Decatur County Roster Search Fields
The table below is not a Decatur County public roster form. It is the field inventory from the Indiana County Jail Public Portal, included because it explains the statewide tool that was checked. Decatur County was not in the current participating county list, so the sheriff phone and records-request paths remain the local route.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Text | Optional | Portal code includes a nested first-name field. |
| Middle Name | Text | Optional | May be useful for common names where a county participates. |
| Last Name | Text | Optional | Search validation requires at least one criterion. |
| Birth Date / DOB | Date | Optional | Likely entered in standard date format. |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Decatur County was not listed in the inspected API response. |
| Booked or Released Between | Date range | Optional | Portal code includes recent booking and release filters. |
The INjail Public Access page screenshot shows the statewide search tool, but the Decatur County inmate records route remains local because Decatur was absent from the participating county list.
Use that portal only as statewide context unless Decatur County is later added by the state.
What Decatur County Inmate Records Show
Because no Decatur County online booking profile was located, there is no local public screen to quote field by field. Indiana's statewide portal source still shows the kinds of fields that may appear in participating counties, and Indiana law requires specified arrest and jail-placement information to be available for inspection and copying. For Decatur County, ask the sheriff for the local record and use MyCase to compare formal charges.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Full name, local booking number, or portal-specific identifier where used. |
| Booking and arrest dates | When the person was arrested and when the jail intake record was created. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, local police, Indiana State Police, or another agency involved in the arrest. |
| Charges | Booking charges may differ from prosecutor-filed court charges later shown in MyCase. |
| Bond and holds | Fixed bond, no-bond status, detainers, warrants, or holds for another agency if public. |
| Release status | Released date, transfer, or continued custody where the record is available. |
| Mugshot | A statewide portal endpoint exists, but no Decatur County online mugshot feed was located. |
Decatur County Jail Contact
The sheriff's county page gives the public office address and phone lines used for custody questions. Jail intake is a custody operation, but official booking-desk hours were not published. Use the public office hours for counter questions and call before traveling for records, visitation, or bond payment details.

Request Decatur County Booking Records
No Decatur-specific jail-records request form was located on the sheriff website. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act still supplies the route. A good written request identifies the full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest or booking date, case number if known, arresting agency if known, specific record type, requester contact information, and preferred delivery method.
Ask for the booking record, jail log entry, bond information, or booking photograph as needed. If a record is withheld, ask for the legal basis. IC 5-14-3-4 allows or requires withholding for some confidential, investigatory, juvenile, medical, victim, security-sensitive, or sealed material. IC 5-14-3-5 is important because it requires specified arrest, summons, and jail or lock-up information to be available.
Decatur County VINE and SAVIN
Indiana VINE and Indiana SAVIN are useful when notification is the goal. They can help track custody status or criminal-case information where a participating record exists, but they do not replace the sheriff as the local jail records custodian. SAVIN supports searches by offender name, offender identification number, or case number.
The Indiana VINE page is a statewide custody-status and notification tool.
Registering for notification can help with release or transfer alerts, while document copies and detailed booking records still route to the sheriff or court clerk.
Decatur County Booking and Intake
Decatur County did not publish a detailed booking-process manual in the located sources. A normal Indiana county jail process includes arrest or warrant service, transport to the jail, identity confirmation, warrants and holds check, property inventory, photograph, fingerprints, medical and mental-health screening, classification, housing or release processing, and court filing after prosecutor review.
Classification means the jail assesses a person's housing and supervision needs. A detainer is a hold request from another agency. A first appearance is an early court hearing where rights, charges, release conditions, and bond may be addressed. These terms can affect the practical answer to a custody question, even when the jail can confirm that the person is in custody.
Decatur County Bond and Holds
The sheriff site has a Bail Information page, but the accessible visible text showed only a bond schedule heading and did not publish amounts or payment methods. Do not rely on third-party bond claims. Confirm custody and bond with the jail or court, then check MyCase once the court case appears.
| Bond or hold type | Meaning | Decatur County note |
|---|---|---|
| Cash bond | Money paid to secure release and appearance. | Amount and payment location must be confirmed directly. |
| Surety bond | A licensed bail agent posts bond for a fee or collateral. | Verify the bond type with the jail or court before paying anyone. |
| Personal recognizance | Release based on promise to appear. | Usually appears in court entries rather than a jail roster. |
| No-bond hold | Person cannot be released on ordinary bond. | May involve warrants, probation, parole, serious charges, or court order. |
| Other-agency hold | Another agency wants the person detained. | Decatur bond may not release the person if another hold remains. |
Decatur County Visitation Records
The official visitor information page exists and displays a jail visitation heading with the sheriff contact block. It did not publish a detailed schedule, visitor ID rule, dress code, child visitor rule, video visitation vendor, attorney-visit rule, mail format, phone vendor, commissary vendor, or deposit fees in the accessible text reviewed for research. The record page should therefore tell users to confirm first.
| Topic | Located Decatur rule | Practical record note |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in visible official text | Call before traveling. |
| Visitor ID | Not located | Bring government ID, but do not call it a published Decatur rule. |
| Video visitation | No vendor confirmed | Do not name Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, ViaPath, or JailATM for Decatur. |
| Mail format | Not located | Ask jail staff before sending inmate mail. |
| Money deposits | No vendor confirmed | Confirm before sending funds. |
Decatur County State and Federal Lookups
State prison custody is separate from Decatur County jail custody. The IDOC locator is for people sentenced to Indiana Department of Correction custody. It may show DOC number, name, facility assignment, sentence or offense information, and release or parole information. It is not the tool for a person newly arrested in Decatur County Jail.
Federal and immigration custody are also separate. The BOP inmate locator covers federal sentenced custody. ICE's Online Detainee Locator System covers immigration detention and can be searched by A-number or biographical information. A local bond may not release a person if a federal, immigration, DOC, or another-county hold remains active.
Note: Confirm the custody level before searching, because jail, court, prison, federal, and immigration systems answer different questions.
