Pulaski County Sheriff and Jail Records

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is the main local source for inmate and released inmate records. The jail is at 110 East Meridian Street, Winamac, IN 46996. Call 574-946-6655 to speak with staff about current custody status or recent releases. The county government website is at pulaskionline.org. The sheriff's office can confirm whether a person is currently held at the Pulaski County Jail or has been released.

Indiana Code IC 36-2-13 gives the sheriff the duty to keep custody records for everyone held in the county jail. Every booking, release, and transfer is logged. Under IC 5-14-3-3, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, the public can request and inspect most government records, including jail data. You do not need to give a reason. Staff must respond to your request within a reasonable time.

Jail Record Requirements in Pulaski County

Indiana's administrative code at 210 IAC 3-1-6 spells out what county jails must record and how long they must keep those records. The Pulaski County Jail is subject to these same rules. Each booking entry must include the person's name, charges, booking date, and release date. This means a record exists for every Pulaski County released inmate, even long after they left the facility.

If the records you need are older or no longer in an online system, a written request under IC 5-14-3-4 is the right path. The statute sets out what exemptions exist, but basic booking and release data for Pulaski County released inmates is generally public. The sheriff's office will let you know if any specific record falls under an exemption and why.

Indiana Offender Locator for Pulaski County

When Pulaski County cases result in state prison sentences, the Indiana Department of Correction is the agency that holds those inmates. The IDOC runs the Indiana Offender Locator, a free public database tracking people in state custody and those already released from the DOC system. This tool is separate from the county jail and covers a different population of Pulaski County released inmates.

Search at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov by name or offender ID. Results show the current facility, sentence length, projected release date, and supervision status. If the person has already been released from DOC, the record still shows their status. This is the right tool when someone from Pulaski County was convicted of a felony and sent to a state facility rather than serving time locally.

For formal written records requests tied to IDOC, use the online form at in.gov/idoc/contact-us/records-request/offender-records/. This covers detailed documentation for any Pulaski County offender held in the state prison system.
