Perry County Jail Roster Search via JailTracker

Perry County uses JailTracker to host its inmate roster online. You can view the current Perry County jail roster through the Sheriff's Office website at perrycountysheriff.com. The page links directly to the JailTracker system, which lists everyone currently booked into the Perry County Detention Center. The roster includes names, booking dates, and charge information.

JailTracker updates as new bookings come in, but there can be a brief delay before a new name shows up. If you do not find who you are looking for right away, try again after a few hours. You can also use the INjail Public Portal, which pulls data from county jails across Indiana including Perry County. The portal lets you search statewide by name.

For people who have been transferred to a state prison, use the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator. This is separate from the county jail roster and covers people in IDOC custody. If you want to be notified when someone's status changes, register with VINELink or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463).
