Search the Clinton County Jail Roster

The Clinton County jail roster is published online by the Clinton County Sheriff's Office and shows the full names and dates of birth of people currently in custody at the county jail in Frankfort, Indiana. You can search the roster at any time using the sheriff's inmate search tool. This page covers how to access the Clinton County jail roster, what information is available, how to contact the jail, and what options exist for commissary, visitation, and victim notifications.

Clinton County Jail Roster - Online Inmate Search

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office hosts the jail's inmate roster online. Inmate full names and dates of birth are provided, but no other information or mugshot is available. You can search the roster at www.clintoncountysheriff.com/inmateSearch. The main sheriff's website is www.clintoncountysheriff.com, and there is also a direct roster link at 66.203.18.194/ActiveInmates.

Indiana also runs a statewide tool called the INjail Public Portal at public.indianajail.gov. This portal pulls booking data from county jails around the state and lets you search by name. It's a good backup if the county site is unavailable, and it can be useful if you're not sure which county has someone in custody.

Both the county search and the state portal are free to use. No account is needed. If you find someone on the roster, you will see their name and basic booking data. Clinton County's roster does not include mugshots or detailed charge information through the online tool, so you may need to call the jail for more specifics.

Inmate Commissary at Clinton County Jail

Cash, credit cards, money orders, and cashier's checks may be used to add money to an inmate's commissary account. The kiosk in the jail lobby accepts cash and cards 24 hours a day, so you don't have to come in during office hours to make a deposit. This is useful if you're traveling a distance to visit or if you want to send funds outside of regular business hours.

InmateSales also handles remote video visits for Clinton County. You can book and pay for visits through their platform online. Check with the jail for current pricing and availability, as these details can change.

Visiting Inmates at the Clinton County Jail

Inmate visits are provided on a first come, first served basis on weekends. Inmates may have up to three visitors per weekend, including children and babies. That total includes everyone in the visiting group, so plan accordingly if you're bringing kids.

Visitors must be on an inmate's visitation list before they can enter. To get on a list, call (765) 659-6396 and ask about being added. It's best to do this well in advance, since there may be a waiting period before a new name is approved. Staff can tell you what information you need to provide and how long the process typically takes.

If you cannot visit in person, InmateSales supports remote video visits. These can be scheduled and paid for online. Remote visits give you the ability to connect without driving to Frankfort, which is helpful if you live far from the jail or have transportation issues.

VINE Notifications for Clinton County Inmates

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free service that sends alerts when an inmate's custody status changes. If you want to know when someone is released, transferred, or escapes from the Clinton County Jail, you can register with VINE at vinelink.com or call 1-866-959-8463. VINE is available to anyone, not just crime victims.

Notifications can come by phone, text, or email. You pick the method when you sign up. VINE will contact you automatically any time there is a custody change for the person you are tracking. This is especially useful if you want ongoing updates without checking the roster manually each day.

Indiana Public Records Law and Jail Rosters

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act at IC 5-14-3 gives residents the right to access government records, including jail rosters and booking logs held by sheriff's offices. The Clinton County Sheriff's Office publishes the roster voluntarily, which makes access easy for most people. If you need records not available online, you can make a formal request.

Jail record-keeping requirements are also governed by 210 IAC 3-1-6, which sets standards for what county jails must document and maintain. Under IC 5-14-3-5, agencies generally have seven days to respond to a written request. Some records are exempt under IC 5-14-3-4, such as records tied to active investigations or certain personal data.

State-Level Inmate Search Tools for Clinton County

If you think someone from Clinton County may have been moved to a state prison, use the Indiana Department of Correction offender locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. This tool covers people held at IDOC facilities across Indiana. It shows the inmate's current facility, sentence details, and projected release date. County jail records and state prison records are separate systems, so you may need to check both.

People sentenced to more than one year in Indiana typically serve time at a state facility rather than a county jail. If someone was convicted and you can no longer find them on the Clinton County roster, the IDOC locator is the right next step.
