Morgan County Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Morgan County Sheriff's Office is at 160 W. Washington St., Martinsville, IN 46151. The phone number is (765) 342-5544. Major David Rogers serves as Jail Commander and oversees day-to-day operations at the Morgan County Jail. The facility currently runs both an adult jail and a work release center. The stated mission of the Morgan County Jail is to increase public safety and reduce recidivism -- a goal that shapes how the facility manages its inmates and programs.

The Morgan County Jail is responsible for the safety and security of all adult offenders in its care. That includes pre-trial detainees as well as people already sentenced to county-level time. The work release center allows some qualifying inmates to maintain employment while serving their sentence under supervision. The jail roster reflects custody at both the main jail and the work release program.

The Morgan County Sheriff's Office is hosted through the Indiana state government web portal at in.gov/sheriffs/morgan. The jail section at in.gov/sheriffs/morgan/county-jail/ includes inmate search access and information on facility policies. This state-hosted page is updated by the county and is the primary online source for Morgan County jail roster information.

Morgan County Jail Roster Search Tools

Start your Morgan County jail roster search at in.gov/sheriffs/morgan/county-jail/. The page includes an inmate locator and links to tools covering visitation, inmate communication, commissary deposits, and inmate programs. Look for the inmate locator link directly on that page. It shows who is currently in custody at the Morgan County Jail.

If you don't find the person through the county sheriff's page, use the INjail Public Portal. INjail is a free statewide search tool run by the Indiana Sheriff's Association. It covers Morgan County and most other Indiana county jails in a single search interface. You don't need an account. Enter the person's name and search across all participating counties at once.

People sentenced to state prison won't appear on the Morgan County jail roster. Use the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator to search for anyone in a state facility. The IDOC tool is free and open to the public. County jail records and state prison records are separate systems, so check both when you aren't sure where someone is held.

Morgan County Jail Booking Records and Public Access

When someone is booked into the Morgan County Jail, a record is created that includes the person's name, date of birth, booking date and time, charges, arresting agency, and bond details. That intake record becomes part of the Morgan County jail roster. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, makes most of this information public. Booking data is generally available without restriction because it reflects what law enforcement agencies have publicly acted on.

A booking is not a conviction. The court process is handled separately by the Morgan Circuit Court and Morgan Superior Court in Martinsville. If you need court filings or case records tied to an arrest in Morgan County, contact the Morgan County Clerk of Courts. Court records and jail booking records are maintained by different offices and searched through different tools.

Indiana jail standards under 210 IAC 3-1-6 set out what the Morgan County Jail must document, how long records must be retained, and what data fields are required. These rules apply statewide and help make booking data reliable and consistent across all 92 Indiana counties.
