Huntington County Jail Inmate Lookup

The Huntington County Sheriff's Office posts inmate information through its county website at huntington.in.us. That page covers the corrections division and links to current Huntington County jail roster data. You can also reach the jail directly by phone at (260) 356-3110 to ask about a specific inmate.

The Huntington County Jail was built in 1984 at a cost of $2.2 million. It was designed to hold 99 inmates but typically averages between 100 and 105 throughout the year, meaning the facility regularly operates at or slightly above designed capacity. All full-time jail officers must complete a one-week Jailers School accredited by the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.

Huntington County Jail Mail and Inmate Contact

Mail to Huntington County Jail inmates goes to a Kentucky PO box, not the jail's physical address. The correct mailing address is: Inmate's Name and Inmate ID, Huntington County Jail IN, P.O. Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. Using the physical jail address will cause delays or returned mail.

The jail has strict rules about what can be sent. Prohibited items include Polaroid photographs, photos with nudity or gang imagery, photographs larger than 4x6 inches, greeting cards that contain sound chips or glitter, stickers, perfume on letters, and lipstick on envelopes. All letters must be written in blue or black ink or pencil. These rules apply to all incoming mail that is not designated as legal mail.

Phone calls out of the Huntington County Jail go through Combined Public Communications. To set up prepaid phone service, call (877) 998-5678. Inmates can make outgoing calls only. The jail does not take or relay phone messages for inmates under any circumstances.
