Indiana Public Records Law and the Switzerland County Jail Roster

Indiana's public access law, IC 5-14-3, is what makes the Switzerland County jail roster available to the public. Under this law, government agencies in Indiana must allow access to most public records, including jail rosters, unless a specific exemption applies. The basic booking record, including name, charges, and date of arrest, is public.

Switzerland County follows this law by posting its roster on the sheriff's website. There is no cost to view the roster, and you do not need to submit a formal records request to see who is in the jail. The online roster is simply updated and made available to anyone with internet access.

If someone has been sentenced and moved to a state facility, they will no longer appear on the Switzerland County jail roster. In that case, check the Indiana Department of Correction Offender Locator instead. The IDOC locator covers people housed in Indiana state prisons and is also free to use. Together, the county jail roster and the IDOC locator cover most of Indiana's incarcerated population.
