Jasper County Sheriff and Jail Records

The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is the main source for local inmate and released inmate records. The jail sits at 2171 North McKinley Avenue in Rensselaer. You can reach the office at (219) 866-7344. The sheriff operates under Indiana Code IC 36-2-13, which sets out the duty to maintain custody records for all persons held in county jail. That means every booking, release, and transfer gets logged.

To ask about a specific person, call the jail line during business hours. Staff can confirm whether someone is currently held or has been released from Jasper County custody. For written requests, you can send a public records request under IC 5-14-3-3, which gives the public the right to inspect and copy most government records. The sheriff's office is required to respond within a reasonable time. You do not need to give a reason for your request.

Jail record-keeping rules in Indiana come from 210 IAC 3-1-6. This regulation tells county jails what information they must keep and how long they must keep it. For Jasper County released inmates, that means booking dates, release dates, charges, and basic personal data are part of the permanent jail record.

Indiana Offender Locator for Jasper County

The Indiana Department of Correction runs a statewide database called the Indiana Offender Locator. It covers people held in state prison as well as those who have been released from DOC custody. Jasper County residents who were sentenced to state prison will appear here. The tool is free and open to the public.

The Indiana Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov lets you search by name or offender ID number. Results show current facility, sentence details, projected release date, and supervision status. If the person has already been released, the record will show that as well. This is the go-to tool when you need information on Jasper County released inmates who went through the state prison system rather than just the county jail.

The Indiana DOC also handles formal offender records requests. If you need detailed documentation, visit in.gov/idoc/contact-us/records-request/offender-records/ to submit a request for offender records tied to Jasper County cases.
