Written requests for records not available online should go directly to the department.

Jail record requirements are set by 210 IAC 3-1-6. Agencies generally have seven days to respond to records requests under state law.

IDOC State Inmate Search for Decatur County

If someone from Decatur County has been transferred to state prison, search the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator. The IDOC system covers people serving time at state facilities. It shows current location, sentence length, and projected release dates. County jail records and state prison records are maintained separately, so you may need to check both if you aren't sure where someone is being held.

Felony sentences longer than one year are generally served at a state facility, not a county jail. If you can't find someone on the Decatur County jail roster, the IDOC locator is the next logical step. The search is free and open to anyone.
