Clark County does not currently offer a dedicated online inmate search portal. To confirm whether someone has been booked at the Clark County Jail, the most direct approach is to call the sheriff's office at (812) 283-4471. Staff can provide basic custody information including whether a person is currently in custody, their charge status, and bond information. Court records tied to any Clark County booking are searchable through the Indiana MyCase portal, which covers all publicly available case filings statewide.

Clark County Booking Records and Open Records Requests

The Clark County Sheriff's Office website includes an open records request form that anyone can use to formally request documents, including booking records and incident reports. Body cam video can also be requested through a dedicated form on the site. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act requires the agency to respond to in-person requests within 24 hours and written requests within seven business days.

For standard booking information, a phone call is often faster than a formal records request. The office at (812) 283-4471 can typically confirm custody status and basic booking details quickly. For more complex requests, such as copies of police reports or other documentation, the formal records process is the appropriate route.

Note: If a formal records request is denied without a stated reason, the Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac can review the situation and provide a free advisory opinion.
