Connersville Jail Roster and Inmate Search

The Connersville jail roster covers people currently held at the Fayette County Jail after an arrest by the Connersville Police Department or other law enforcement operating in the city. Connersville is the county seat of Fayette County in east-central Indiana, and all local arrests feed into the same county detention system. You can search for current inmates through the Fayette County Sheriff's jail page or through the statewide INjail Public Portal, both of which are free and do not require any login or account to use.

Connersville Police Department

The Connersville Police Department enforces the law throughout the city. Officers handle patrol, criminal investigations, and arrests. When CPD takes someone into custody, that person is transported to the Fayette County Jail for booking and holding. Connersville does not operate its own city jail. Once a person is arrested and booked, all custody matters go through the county jail system managed by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office.

For information about a specific person in custody after a Connersville arrest, the Fayette County Sheriff's Office is the right contact. They run the jail, control the inmate roster, and can tell you about bond, visiting hours, and how to send money to an inmate account. The non-emergency line for Connersville Police is 765-825-1110. The Fayette County page has direct contact details for the sheriff's office and jail staff.

Connersville PD occasionally works with the Fayette County Sheriff, Indiana State Police, and other agencies on multi-agency investigations. For the purposes of jail roster searches, though, all Connersville arrests go to one place: the Fayette County Jail.

Connersville Jail Roster Search

Fayette County provides public inmate search access through its county jail page at co.fayette.in.us/county-jail/. That page includes links to current inmate information as well as contact details for the jail. It is the most direct local source for Connersville-area arrest records. Check there first if you are looking for someone recently booked.

The screenshot below is from the INjail Public Portal's county selection page at public.indianajail.gov/counties, showing how to locate Fayette County for Connersville jail roster searches.

The statewide INjail Public Portal is a reliable backup and often the fastest starting point. Select Fayette County from the dropdown to narrow results to the Connersville area. INjail pulls from participating county jails across Indiana, so you can also check adjacent counties in one session if needed. Both tools are free and updated as new bookings come in throughout the day.

VINE Victim Notification

VINE, which stands for Victim Information and Notification Everyday, tracks inmate custody changes at the Fayette County Jail. The service is free and open to anyone. You can sign up at VINELink.com or call 1-866-959-8463 to register or check on a specific inmate. No reason is required to use the service, and you do not need to be connected to a court case to sign up.

Once you register an inmate with VINE, the system sends you a phone call or email the moment that person is released, transferred, or has any custody status change at the Fayette County Jail. The service runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. For people who do not want to set up an account, the VINE phone line lets you check on an inmate by name without registering. The data comes directly from the jail, so it reflects actual custody status.

VINE is especially useful when someone may be moved between the Fayette County Jail and a state facility. Any transfer triggers a new alert, so you will know if the person's location changes.

Booking Records and Public Access

An arrest in Connersville creates a booking record at the Fayette County Jail. Under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3, that record is public. It includes the person's name, date of birth, booking date, listed charges, bond amount, and booking number. Anyone can request this information. No attorney is needed, and there is no fee for basic adult booking records accessed through the online tools listed above.

Indiana jail regulations at 210 IAC 3-1-6 require all county jails to maintain and report booking records in a consistent format. These rules apply to the Fayette County Jail and help make sure the online roster matches the jail's own records. If the person has already been released and no longer appears in the active roster, you may need to submit a written public records request to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office to get archived booking data.

Some records are restricted. Juvenile records are not public. Active investigation files may be withheld. Sensitive identifiers like social security numbers are excluded from public access. For most adult arrests, the basic booking record is open and free. Certified copies or court documents require a request to the Fayette County Clerk of Courts.

Additional Resources

The Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator tracks people serving state sentences in IDOC prisons and other state facilities. If someone is not in the Fayette County inmate search, they may have been sentenced and transferred out of the county jail. The IDOC locator is free to use and covers all IDOC locations in Indiana without any login or account requirement.

The INjail Public Portal is a statewide inmate search tool covering participating county jails across Indiana. For Connersville searches, filter by Fayette County. INjail is a good first step if you are unsure which county has a record, or if you want to check multiple counties in one session. Both IDOC and INjail are free public resources, open at any time, with no registration needed.
