Jackson County Jail Roster
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office in Brownstown operates the county jail and publishes roster channels from its official website. The roster choice page offers a current-inmate link and a 48-hour-release link. The current roster page was inspected in July 2026 and displayed "Roster Offline For Maintenance." Because the official page did not show a live inmate record, no Jackson County sample profile fields could be verified from a current official booking entry.
That limitation should shape every Jackson County inmate records search. The roster can be a first stop when it is live, but it is not a certified record. The sheriff's roster disclaimer says information is collected, maintained, and provided for convenience, and that the jail cannot certify accuracy or authenticity. For current custody, release, bond, or booking status, the 24-hour jail phone is the practical confirmation channel.
The jail roster is also separate from court records. Jail custody shows booking and release status. Criminal charges, dispositions, sentencing, and hearing events are court records in MyCase or clerk files. When an inmate search raises a question about court charges after arrest, the matching court case should be checked in MyCase or with the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Use the Jackson County Inmate Roster
When the sheriff roster is available, use it as a custody lead and then verify important details. The official research confirms two local roster paths: current inmates and 48-hour release. It does not confirm a visible search box because the current roster was offline during inspection. The roster URL title suggests booking-date descending order when live, but no live listing could be tested.
- Open the Jackson County Jail roster choice page.
- Select the current-inmate channel for active custody or the 48-hour-release channel for recent release leads.
- If the roster is offline, call Jackson County Jail before assuming a person is not in custody.
- Use MyCase for the court charge, bond order, hearing, disposition, or sentence tied to the booking.
- Use statewide tools if the person may have moved from county jail to state custody or notification status.
For urgent safety issues, use 911. The sheriff app and contact forms are not emergency channels, and the sheriff contact page warns that email is not monitored all day and is not secure for sensitive personal information.
Jackson County Inmate Search Fields
The official research can confirm the controls that were visible before the roster page itself, but not a complete search form from a live roster. This table uses the verified local source facts and labels the missing field data plainly. If the roster returns, recheck the live page before describing any name, booking number, or date fields as current.
| Field or Control | Type | Required | Options or Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | Link or button | No | Opens the current Jackson County Jail roster channel. |
| 48 Hour Release | Link or button | No | Opens the recent-release roster channel. |
| Roster listing | List | Not applicable | The current page was offline for maintenance at inspection. |
| Search fields | Unknown | Unspecified | No search box could be verified because the roster was offline. |
| Result sorting | Page behavior | Unspecified | URL title suggests booking-date descending when the roster is live. |
Jackson County Inmate Profile Fields
No current Jackson County inmate profile was available from the official roster at inspection, so a field-by-field local sample cannot be stated as verified. Common roster fields such as full name, booking date, charge list, bond, arresting agency, mugshot, release date, and court references were identified only as fields to verify later if the roster returns. They should not be treated as confirmed fields from the inspected Jackson County page.
| Field | What the Research Confirms |
|---|---|
| Full name | Not verified from a live official profile because the roster was offline. |
| Booking date or time | Expected to verify later, but not captured from a live local record. |
| Booking number | Not verified from a current Jackson County profile. |
| Charge list | Use MyCase and clerk records for formal court charges. |
| Bond amount or type | Verify with jail and court records before relying on any online value. |
| Release date | The 48-hour-release channel exists, but no sample release profile was captured. |
Note: The most accurate local inmate search language is "verify by phone" until the roster returns online.
Jackson County Jail Facility
Jackson County Jail and the sheriff's office share the official address at 150 East SR 250 in Brownstown. The sheriff phone and jail phone are both listed as 24-hour lines. Administrative office hours are Monday through Friday during the day. The sheriff named in the app press release is Sheriff Rick Meyer. The jail should be called for current custody and roster issues, while the sheriff's main line can handle broader agency questions.
Jackson County Sheriff's Office and Jail
150 East SR 250
Brownstown, IN 47220
(812) 358-2141 sheriff
(812) 358-1982 jail
Sheriff and jail phones are 24 hours. Administrative office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
Official Jackson County Inmate Channels
The county's jail incarceration-information page confirms good-time class rules and inmate telephone access details.
That page is the best local official source for phone access and good-time details when the roster page itself is offline.
The Indiana County Jail Public Portal provides a statewide county-jail public access channel where participating data is available.
The statewide jail portal warns that status may not be current and should be verified through official court records or the holding agency.
Statewide Jackson County Custody Searches
Statewide tools help when a person is no longer on the local roster, has been sentenced to state custody, or needs custody notification. These tools answer different questions. IDOC covers sentenced Indiana Department of Correction custody. SAVIN and VINE support custody or criminal-case notification. The INjail portal is a statewide county-jail access point, but it still requires confirmation because public status can lag.
| Channel | Coverage | Search Notes |
|---|---|---|
| IDOC offender locator | Sentenced state correctional custody | Search by last name or by first and last name. |
| Indiana County Jail Public Portal | Statewide county-jail public access | Status may not be current and should be verified. |
| Indiana SAVIN | Offender search and notification | Use last name, offender ID, or case number. |
| VINE Link Indiana | Custody status and criminal-case notification | Useful for transfer or release alerts. |
The VINE Link Indiana portal is assigned to this page because it supports custody status and notification searches.
VINE is helpful after release, transfer, or booking changes, but the Jackson County Jail remains the local custody confirmation source.
Jackson County Sheriff IN App
The sheriff's November 10, 2025 press release announced the Jackson County Sheriff IN mobile app. The release says the app is available through Apple's App Store and Google Play and includes current road conditions, inmate roster, National Weather Service alerts, and more. The Google Play listing names OCV, LLC as publisher and describes reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, public-safety news, and information. It also warns that the app is not for emergencies.
The app share URL from the sheriff press release is a direct app channel connected to the Jackson County Sheriff IN release.
Use the app as an additional inmate roster and public-safety channel, not as a replacement for the jail's 24-hour phone line when custody status is time-sensitive.
Jackson County Booking and Good Time
The official jail page confirms that all inmates enter as class one offenders and receive one day of credit for every day incarcerated unless rules are broken or crimes are committed in jail. Reclassification can cause loss of good time. This is a custody administration detail, not the same as a sentence shown in the criminal court record. Sentencing orders, probation terms, fines, and court costs should be checked through MyCase and the clerk.
Booking records may connect to charges, bond, court dates, and release status, but the official roster was not live at inspection. If a person is believed to be in Jackson County custody, call the jail. If the person has already been sentenced to state custody, search IDOC. If notice of release or transfer is the concern, use SAVIN or VINE along with local verification.
Jackson County Jail Phone and Visits
Research did not locate a full official visitation schedule, dress code, video visitation vendor, mail scanning rule, deposit vendor, kiosk instruction, attorney visitation schedule, or tablet program. The official jail information does confirm telephone hours and the phone provider. Inmates have phone access from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily unless the inmate or facility is on lockdown. Jackson County Jail contracts with Securus Technology, and Correctional Billing Services handles phone account questions.
| Topic | Official Detail | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate phone hours | 7:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. daily unless lockdown applies | Call timing may depend on jail status. |
| Phone provider | Securus Technology | Phone cards are available through commissary. |
| Account help | Correctional Billing Services, (800) 844-6591 | Use for phone account questions. |
| Collect calls | Inmates may call family and friends collect | Costs and account setup should be confirmed with provider. |
| Visitation schedule | Not located in inspected official pages | Call the jail before visiting. |
Jackson County Inmate Records and Registry Limits
Sex and violent offender registry searches are not the same as inmate custody searches. The registry may show registration obligations under Indiana law, while the jail roster shows local custody when available. The Indiana DOC registry page points to registry search resources and IDOC contact information. Use it only for registry status, not for live jail booking status.
The Indiana DOC Sex and Violent Offender Registry page is a separate public-safety resource from the Jackson County inmate roster.
Registry results should not be used as proof of current Jackson County Jail custody, release status, bond, or court disposition.
