Hancock County Jail Roster
The Hancock County Sheriff is Brad Burkhart, and the Sheriff's Office is the local agency tied to jail custody. The official sheriff page links users to sheriff resources, while the county jail page links to the current inmate lookup. A Hancock County inmate record should be read as a custody record, not as proof of conviction. Booking charges can change after a prosecutor files charges, after a court amends counts, or after a judge sets bond and conditions.
Use the local roster for current county jail custody. Use the Indiana county jail public portal as a broader jail access path. Use the Indiana Department of Correction locator for state-prison custody, and use Indiana SAVIN for offender search and notification. Phone fallback remains important because roster data may lag, a person may have bonded out, or a person may have moved to another facility after sentencing.
The manifest image from the Hancock County Sheriff page shows the county source that connects jail, records, and sheriff services.
That sheriff source is the starting point for separating local jail custody from court case records and state correction records.
Use the Hancock County Roster
The official jail page links to the Hancock County JailTracker current inmate lookup. Search by the strongest identifying information available. A name may be enough when it is uncommon, but date of birth, booking identity, or known court information can help avoid a wrong match. If the roster does not show a person who was recently arrested, the jail phone line is the practical fallback.
- Open the Hancock County JailTracker lookup from the official jail page or direct roster link.
- Search the person's name, then narrow the result with date of birth or booking details if the portal provides fields.
- Open the inmate profile and compare name, custody status, charge, bond, and facility details.
- Check MyCase separately if the question is about filed charges, court dates, disposition, or sentencing.
- Call the Hancock County Jail at 317-477-1158 when custody status, release, or transfer timing is unclear.
The official Hancock County JailTracker page is the roster source assigned for inmate lookup.
JailTracker is the local public roster path, while statewide systems are fallback or post-sentencing tools.
Hancock County Inmate Search Fields
The roster field inventory is based on the public roster path and related jail service pages. Some fields may appear as filters while others appear inside a profile or transaction page. Commissary transactions, for example, require enough identity data to match the correct person, including inmate ID and/or name and date of birth. The roster should be read with that same care because people can share names.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| In custody / current inmate selection | Checkbox or roster filter | Optional | Use current-custody filtering when the portal provides it. |
| Name | Text | Optional | Search by inmate name where available. |
| Booking / inmate ID | Text | Optional | Useful for commissary, deposits, and exact identity matching. |
| Date of Birth | Date | Optional | Helps distinguish common names and is used for jail transactions. |
| Search / submit | Button | Not applicable | Runs the roster search. |
| Clear / reset | Button | Not applicable | Clears the search if the interface provides it. |
Hancock County Inmate Profile Fields
A Hancock County inmate profile is a snapshot of jail custody. It may show the booking identity, current custody status, charges, bond, booking date, arresting agency, and release or transfer information when available. Not every field appears on every profile. Court case details, charge amendments, plea, disposition, and sentence should be checked through MyCase or the clerk because the jail profile is not the full criminal case file.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | The public name tied to the jail booking. |
| Booking identity | Booking number, inmate ID, or other jail identifier where shown. |
| Custody status | Whether the person is currently held, released, or transferred when listed. |
| Booking date/time | The intake date and time if the roster exposes it. |
| Arresting agency | The law-enforcement agency tied to the arrest or booking. |
| Charges | Charge descriptions or charge count, which may differ from final court charges. |
| Bond | Bond amount or type after the court sets bond. |
| Case link | Court case, citation, or warrant cross-reference if supplied. |
| Demographics | Age, sex, race, height, or weight if the profile displays them. |
| Release or transfer | Release date, transfer status, or no-current-custody status where shown. |
Hancock County Jail Facility
The Hancock County Jail page states that people arrested in the county for offenses from misdemeanor to felony are brought to the jail. The corrections center opened in May 2022, has capacity for 446, and the jail page lists 50 full-time custody staff. Jail staff handle care, custody, laundry, meals, and most medical and dental needs. Some people stay only briefly, while others remain through trial, sentencing, or transfer.
The directory adds detail about the jail division, including command staff, sergeants, corporals, civilian jail officers, a jail administrative assistant, and jail navigators. That local staffing detail is useful because inmate records are part of a working custody system, not just an online list. Phone contact is still the right route when a roster result conflicts with bond, release, or transfer information.
The official Hancock County Jail page is the source for the facility facts and service links.
The jail page connects the current inmate lookup with visitation, mail, commissary, phone, bond, and property-release services.

Statewide Hancock County Inmate Checks
Not every person connected to Hancock County remains in the county jail. A sentenced person may move to the Indiana Department of Correction. A person may also appear in notification systems even when the local jail roster no longer shows current custody. Use each database for the record type it actually covers. The local roster is for county custody, public.indianajail.gov is a statewide jail public access resource, IDOC is for state-prison custody, and SAVIN supports offender search and notification.
The Indiana county jail public portal is a statewide jail access channel listed in the research.
That statewide portal can help when a person may be in another Indiana county jail or when the local roster path is not enough.
The IDOC offender locator is the state-prison search route for sentenced Indiana Department of Correction custody.
IDOC records answer facility assignment and DOC-number questions that a Hancock County jail roster may not show after transfer.
The Indiana SAVIN offender search accepts a last name, offender ID, or case number for search and notification purposes.
SAVIN is especially useful for notification, but court dates and case disposition still belong in the court record.
Hancock County Booking Process
The jail page says any person arrested in Hancock County, for offenses ranging from misdemeanor to felony, is brought to the jail. Booking creates a custody record. A new arrestee receives a free five-minute call when booking is complete. The person may then appear on the roster, receive housing classification, wait for a court hearing, or bond out if bond has been set and the needed payment method is available.
Booking charges should not be treated as final court charges. The arresting agency may list an intake charge, while the prosecutor may file a different charge, amend a charge, or decline part of the arresting allegation. For that reason, a serious custody check often needs a second step through Hancock County arrest records and court charges or the full criminal court record.
Note: Jail custody data can change faster than public court records, so confirm recent bookings or releases with the jail.
Hancock County Inmate Visitation
Hancock County uses video visitation for all inmates. The jail visitation page says visits must be scheduled by calling 866-340-7879 at least 24 hours before the desired time. A standard visit is 20 minutes. Each inmate may have two 20-minute sessions per week, and one 50-minute visit can replace the two shorter sessions. Visitors should arrive 10 minutes early because late visitors must reschedule with the company.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visit type | Video visitation for all inmates. |
| Scheduling | Call 866-340-7879 at least 24 hours before the desired visit. |
| Standard visit length | 20 minutes. |
| Weekly allowance | Two 20-minute sessions, or one 50-minute visit in place of both. |
| Arrival | Arrive 10 minutes early. |
| Visitor information | Name, address, date of birth, driver's license number, and all additional visitor names. |
| ID | Adults must show picture ID such as a driver's license or state ID card. |
| Children | Children must be with a parent or guardian. |
| Denial reasons | Drug or alcohol influence, inappropriate dress, behavior, schedule issues, or recording. |
Mail Phone and Inmate Funds
Mail must go through the U.S. Postal Service. No mail, notes, or photos may be dropped off at the jail. The mailing format is inmate name and block letter, Hancock County Jail, 398 Malcolm Grass Way, Greenfield, IN 46140. The sender must include a full return address with name. Personal mail is inspected for contraband, and banned items include stickers, perfume, glitter, Polaroid pictures, sexually explicit images, violent images, and cards of any type.
Commissary deposits may be made online at JailATM or through the lobby kiosk, which accepts cash or credit cards. The transaction needs the inmate ID number and/or name and date of birth. Phone service is through Combined Public Service. Phone time can be purchased in the jail lobby, by calling 1-877-998-5678 option 4, or by setting up a prepaid direct account through inmatesales.com. The posted phone-time rate is .21 cents per minute as written on the jail page, and phones are available 8 a.m. through 11 p.m.
Hancock County Bond and Property
Bond amounts are set by the court. The jail bond page says there is a $5 fee on criminal case bonds except for a writ. Once the court sets bond, an inmate may bond out if enough cash or a credit card is available. The public may post bond through the jail lobby JailATM kiosk or online at jailatm.com. Court bond entries can appear in MyCase, but jail staff handle the custody release process after payment and court conditions are satisfied. Recent bond changes should be checked with the jail before travel.
Property rules are strict. Property is not released while the inmate is considered under the influence. Once the inmate is in population, a release form must be signed and identification is required. Property will not be released after 72 hours inside the facility, and the jail does not accept released property back. Outside clothing is not accepted except one set one week before a jury trial, and plain white undergarments may be allowed at intake under the jail rules.
