LaGrange County Sheriff and Jail

Indiana Offender Locator for LaGrange County Released Inmates

LaGrange County residents sentenced to state prison after a felony conviction appear in the Indiana Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov. The Indiana Department of Correction maintains this database. It is free and open to the public. Search by name or DOC offender ID. The record shows current facility, sentence length, projected release date, and supervision status after release. If the person has already been released from DOC custody, the database reflects that event and shows when the release occurred.

The DOC locator covers state prisons, not the county jail. Most misdemeanor sentences and many short felony terms are served at the LaGrange County jail. Longer felony sentences typically result in a transfer to a DOC facility, which is when the person appears in the statewide database. For LaGrange County released inmates who served their time locally, call the sheriff's office directly or submit a public records request. For those who served at a state facility, the DOC locator is the right tool.

To request formal written documentation from the Indiana DOC, go to in.gov/idoc/contact-us/records-request/offender-records/. This channel handles official offender records requests tied to LaGrange County cases processed through state prison.
