Becher Adult Correctional Complex where booked individuals are held. This page explains how to find a current inmate after a Jeffersonville arrest, how to contact the Jeffersonville PD Records Division, and what Indiana statewide tools can help when local searches don't return results.

Clark County Sheriff and Jail Booking Records

The Clark County Sheriff's Office operates the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex at 501 East Court Avenue, Jeffersonville, IN. The main line is 812-283-4471. This facility is where all Jeffersonville PD arrests are booked and where inmates are held while awaiting court proceedings or serving shorter sentences.

The Clark County Sheriff's Office website provides general information about the facility, visiting procedures, and inmate services. For attorneys seeking court-list information or scheduling visits, the contact email is courtlist@clarkcosheriff.com. The sheriff's office handles a range of inquiries from families, attorneys, and the public looking for information on current inmates at the Becher Complex.

To find out if someone is currently in custody at the Clark County Jail, calling the sheriff's office at 812-283-4471 is the most direct approach. The department can confirm custody status and provide basic booking information for active inmates. The statewide INjail portal also covers Clark County and is a useful option for online searches.
